Saturday Feeding Program in Malaybalay

   We had the privilege of helping with the orphanage's Saturday feeding program on our first full day here. The orphanage sent out three vans to pick up kids off the street and bring them to campus for music, games, Bible stories, and a meal.
   They brought in 100+ kids of all ages and said as they continue to do this, the numbers will go up to the 400's. The kids were so energetic and loved all the songs and games! But their favorite part was repeating the Bible verses and eating a good meal. Some kids came back more than 4 times for more! Most of these kids this is the most nutritious meal they get all week, it is a great ministry, feeding the kids spiritually and physically.
   Seeing all those smiling faces and the joy this small amount of time and love meant to them overwhelmed me and humbled me greatly.
