On October 23 we welcomed 4 of the girls and then on October 31 we welcomed the other 4. We are praising God for his leading and choosing of these 8 girls. He provided an amazing Woman of God to mother them as well. These girls come with deep wounds and scars. They have experienced things that children shouldn't expereince. We are excited to watch them regain their childhood and be little girls again. Most of all we are praying and seeking to give them the love of Christ and and show them His hope. Many of these girls were the caretakers in their homes and school was not a priority. One girl shared with me when I asked her why she likes being here in the Villa she said " becasue I have a mom that cooks for me. I was the one who cooked in my house." ( she is 14 yrs. old). Now, these girls can go to school everyday and know what real love is and a healthy home. I watched them get excited over smelling the shampoo and body spray given to them, and receiving clothes as well. For most this is the first time they have their own bed. I have watched them excitedly help their house mom with chores, taking pride in the washing the dishes, washing their new clothes ( by hand) and dusting the windows in the house. It's these simple things that they have never had before and they are so thankful to be here and to have these things. Please pray for these beautiful girls and their House Mom. We also need sponsors for these girls you can read more about their stories at our website at www.forwardedge.org. God is good and has saved 8 more girls from the darkness and bondage of the world!
