"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." ~James 1:27
Yesterday, our group from Chicago did house visits at Argelia Alta. This neighborhood is one of poorer neighborhoods in Quito. The Argelia Alta church does intentional home visits with different single mothers in community every week to teach their kids as well as connect with the mothers by having a Bible Study for them, praying for them, and giving them updates on new ministry events at Argelia Alta.
During our house visits, God broke my heart. I just about cried. Four of three different homes we visited, the mothers were not there. The kids were home alone. Their living conditions were less than ideal. Our ministry partner Magally played with the kids, read books to them, did crafts, and prayed over them. This was "religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless". HOW COOL!
