We were prepared for long, sterile hallways and children in bed, but though the staff did wear white coats, there was nothing else to alert us to the fact that we were visiting hospitals.

 

It was the same at both medical facilities.  The children were gathered and waiting for us outside, dressed in slippers and whatever type of clothing they happened to have.  The children, who are in these hospitals for up to ten months, hung on every word we spoke.  They opened up and told about their lives.  A girl shared her handwork.  They eagerly accepted our gifts.  Little voices repeated the prayer of salvation after us.  Glowing faces attested to new found hope.  Children clung to us and didn’t want to let go…

 

These children rarely have visitors.  They were lonely and open to the message of Christ’s love which we had for them.
