The Forgotten Kids
Imagine, if you will, what it would be like to be..
Rejected by your family, looked at as another mouth to feed.
Rejected by your community, looked at as a nuisance.
Rejected by yourself, trashing your body for a mere moment of escape.
Rejected by the world, branded hopeless.
This isn’t something that the forgotten kids of Jeffery’s Bay have to imagine. This is everyday life for them. These kids are between the ages of 10-18 years old. They are deemed hopeless, people have tried to bring them out of the darkness but they get pulled back in. They are from broken families where most of them have no fathers or they see their fathers abusing their mothers. Abusive nature is nothing but normal here. It’s no big deal to go three or four days without food. They would rather sleep on the streets then sleep at home, some don’t even have homes to resort back too. Before we even came they had captured our hearts, since being here we’ve fallen in love with them. God has put a burden on our hearts to stand in the gap on behalf of these kids. We are asking you the body of Christ to intercede with us. Please consider joining us by fasting and praying on Mondays. These kids are not hopeless, our Father above hasn’t given up on them nor should we.
