Guatemala SOS Day 4 - Zacapa

This morning was an early one as we left from Xela to travel to Zacapa. It was a long journey but some were able to catch up on sleep while the rest got to enjoy the incredible view of the mountains and teh true splendor of God's creation.

Once in Zacapa, we unloaded at the Zacapa Hogar Temporal where the kids were so eager to be held and meet new friends. There were hardly any kids that were too shy or did not want attention. We were able to love on them, worship with them and share a Bible story. We then broke up into our four groups and helped them make a craft and pass out their new shoes. Their excitement was almost uncontainable!

After the children received their shoes, they each were given a bag full of candy and gifts that were collected by the team.

These kids are starved for love and attention but are well-cared for at Zacapa Hogar Temporal. The same sad story is repeated one too many times but nothing can replace the hope that can be given to these children through the love of Jesus.
