A year ago, one of the babies from Bethany was adopted. We have been getting a daily report from her new family with pictures and videos of her development and she is doing so well! One of our other little ones just got the news that he will get to live with his still very young grandmother and grow up with his relatives. Another one of our babies had been adopted a little while back by a really sweet couple! It is amazing to see how God is working and how He is using Vila Betania as a place for restoring and creating families!
Meanwhile in Philadelphia, while all the other organizations that normally hand out food and supplies in Hope Park have stopped doing so due to COVID-19, we decided to reach out. We are making sandwiches and premade meals, decorating the boxes with scripture, and then placing them a safe distance away while the people come on Sunday afternoon to get some. Most people on the street have masks but cannot use them properly, often using them for two weeks straight. The people on the street are solely focused on surviving which is why they can't handle another stressor. If you're addicted, you only focus on getting your next drug. All the other things are not important. They also do not have the technology to see everything and worry about it. We love to build relationships with these people like the one in the photo below. He made sure to let us know that he wanted to be known as Power! We might not know anything about his story, but we had the privilege to meet him and he got to meet us and hopefully a lot more about God through that!
