Een kort bericht van Simon over zijn ervaringen met het werken met kinderen die van de<\/strong> straat<\/strong> komen. Simon is in Masulita Children Village aangesteld als begeleider van de kinderen die daar enige tijd worden opgevangen voor rehabilitatie. Dit voordat ze terugkeren naar Napak en worden herenigd met nog bestaande familieleden, ver weg of dichtbij, waar ze verder worden ondersteund door Koinonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Een kort berichtje van Simon uit het kinderdorp Masulita.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ik was erg blij toen ik bij Koinonia met straatkinderen mocht gaan werken. Het is fantastisch hoe ik het onderwijzen van Gods woord kan combineren met hun geestelijke herstel, wat zich vervolgens vertaalt in hun sociale gedrag ten opzichte van anderen. Het is prachtig om deze kinderen, die de liefde van God niet kennen, met hun gebroken hart tot Hem te brengen en te zien hoe ze van hun pijn genezen. Omdat deze kinderen vaak al heel lang de liefde, aandacht en zorg van hun ouders missen, voel ik me een soort vervangende vader voor hen. Het is een hele uitdaging om met deze kinderen te werken en het is niet altijd gemakkelijk. Ze hebben veel bagage met zich mee, allerlei verslavingen, geweld en misbruik, dingen die erg moeilijk voor hen zijn om te dragen en die niet in een oogwenk kunnen worden opgelost. Het is een lange weg, niet altijd gemakkelijk, die ik met hen wil bewandelen. Deze kinderen hebben onze aandacht nodig, speciale aandacht, aandacht die vaak onze capaciteiten te boven gaat, maar juist waar ik tekortschiet, komt God mij te hulp en doet wat ik niet kan. Ondertussen kunnen veel van onze kinderen naar school, wat niet zo gebruikelijk is voor hen, en sommigen zijn weer bij hun familie, wat anders nooit mogelijk zou zijn geweest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
