Last Saturday was indeed an joyous day for the children in Balulang as many of them received the boxful of treats from the Samaritan's purse. We have gathered around 70 children from the area and some of them were victims of the flood that happened last month.
The church was filled with so much of excitement as the program was done. There were some presentations and the Best Gift ( Salvation through Jesus) that they could also receive was also presented by Bogie. And after that, they all fall in line as their names were called to receive their box of treats. Then they all prayed together to bless the people who have the gifts and thanked God for it too. And counted 1-2-3 and opened the gifts! And wow!! There was so much of excitement and joy as they opened their boxes. The kids eyes widened as they have received gifts that they only dreamed of. All we could hear was " Wow!!" Wow!! Wow! both from the kids and from the parents. Everyone was indeed happy!
One of the parents told me that the boy has been pointing the Hot Wheels toy at the supermarket and asked the mom to buy it for him. But of course, the Mom didn't buy because it was so expensive. And guess what, inside the boy's box are 5 Hot wheels cars plus sweets, school supplies and other toys!! I can't believe that so many treats and toys can be put in a small shoe box.
Of course my Tricia received her box too and she got a My Little Pony and 2 Polly World dolls 'doll'. I remember she has been asking me to buy a Pony doll for her even when we were still in Thailand, but I never got to buy for her. Indeed, God knows every child's desire and is that loving to meet even their desires. Such a loving God we have.
I indeed thank God for the Samaritan's Purse ( Operation Christmas Child) and the thousands of American families who took part of this very special ministry. I pray that more and more children will indeed come to know the Saviour through this outreach.
