The Goshorns Step by Step

February 2017

We have a lot going on at the moment:) We

started our extended feeding programs for the kids
The
while theyre off school. This will continue until school
starts up in March. Jennifer also started teaching
English during this time with the kids. While school is
out I was also given permission to start the first ever
Bible study at the orphanage. The director said the
study can only continue until school starts because itll
conflict with their school schedule. Half the kids go to
school in the morning and the others in the evening.
Theyre very strict with schedules. The kids enjoy it so
much and participate, we just pray that we can work
something out.
Katherine was asked to be the maid of honor in
the wedding of Rut. We met Rut in 2007 when she was
12 years old and now Katherine is going to be the arrows. The police handled it very well and stood

Some of you have heard us talk about Estrella. She just recently showed up at one of our programs.
She was very shy and very hungry. She came in late and so we were down to the very last of our food. We
served her a plate and she ate it. I asked if she would like more and she very shyly shook her head yes. We
didnt have much left, but we gave it to her, she ate it and when I looked back she was eating the scraps
from the other kids plates. When she noticed me she lowered her head and said Im still hungry. You
would think I would be used to this by now, but Im not. We found out that Estrella is 4 years old and
doesn't live very close. When she left that day I
asked if she would return and she said yes. I
didnt think she would, especially since she didnt
live near. I was wrong, shes been there for every
program since. She came because she heard we
would help her. Weve seen a transformation
from a scared, quiet hungry little girl to a happy
talkative girl that sees hope. She now participates
in the program and listens to very intensively to
the Bible stories.

Mahatma Gandhi said There are people in the

world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them
except in the form of bread. When we offer to help
take away the pain of hunger, the doors open to fill them with the Holy Spirit. In English Estrella means
star, and we now see the light in her eyes.

1 John 3:17-18
If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on
them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words
or speech but with actions and in truth.
