ABUELITOS
Abuelitos is such a darling ministry. They come to us in the mornings, 9:00-11:00 am, Monday through Friday. They are the cutest and love so fiercely. Some of them have been forgotten by their families while some have families who love them dearly. However, their mornings are spent alone as everyone must go to work and school. The fact that they also have somewhere to go in the mornings gives them purpose. They are all such good friends and love spending their mornings together. In instances when one of them has gotten sick and cannot come, we always hear from their families that what’s frustrating them most is not being able to see their friends, both locals, and those who visit from way up north!
During our time with Abuelitos we try to teach them as much as we can about Jesus. You see, the way they were raised was to see religion as traditions and something cultural, sometimes even as rituals. However, we want to show them the truth about Christianity; it is not about a religion but a relationship. We’ve seen many Abuelitos come to Christ and others grow closer to Him. We thank all of you who have loved on the Abuelitos and have shown the love of Christ through a smile, a handshake, a dance, a hug….
