different faces

Anyone who's worked with children in a 3rd world country can attest that the kids love one thing: the camera. The moment they notice you have one, they all become models. Making faces and outrageous poses, they fight for your attention. Pulling on your arm they shout "yo! yo!" (or "me! me!") and try to plant themselves in your viewfinder. With 5 or 6 kids, this can be somewhat sane as you try to make them understand they need to "squish in". However, when there's 30 screaming kids the task becomes a little more daunting...

They fight for the camera's attention...

The end result... Christian never looks at the camera.

Kati and her younger sisters: Sandra Lucia (1 years old) and Abi (in the blue- 4 years old)

I find that I tend to post pictures of the same kids, but don't be misled... we work with about 40-50 overall on a regular basis. I think I covered a new batch of them. One thing that I'm praising the Lord for is that Alva (the top in the 2nd picture) and Christian (not smiling second picture) have both accepted the Lord as their Saviour in the past week! I'm so excited! Please pray for them as we're praying about different ways we can disciple them :)
