Chile Update #3
After a week in Calama, we’re back in Antofagasta, preparing to begin our work at the Children´s home in Bonilla. We´re very excited excited to see what the Lord has for us in this appointment!
We spent an amazing week in Calama. Our work was definitely cut out for us! Calama has the highest suicide rate in the country, with a total of 13 suicides since January. Most of the teens that come to the corps suffer from depression, so that was what most of our efforts were geared towards this past week.
Since we were at a school as well as a corps, we did a lot of visiting class rooms, and doing ¨Happy Hours¨ which consisted of some songs, and a bible lesson. The children really seemed to enjoy them.
We also did some meetings with the teens, geared towards depression as well as meetings with the parents. On Sunday, we participated in the morning meets, by doing some dances, and leading some songs, and of course: playing in the band!
Please be in prayer for our efforts and our ministry in Bonilla.
Until Next Time!
We love and miss you!
