Heartbreaking

I read a very sad post on the Bible Orphan Ministry blog yesterday. The director of one of the orphanages they visit called to tell them one of the girls had died. Inna was twelve years old, but was very tiny for her age. She had Down's Syndrome. She had a heart condition and she had surgery, but not in time. They found that her ventricle had atrophied. They were unable to save her life.

The ministry team visited regularly where Inna lived. They had Bible lessons with the older girls. Obviously, the members of the team are heartbroken.

The orphanage administrator asked them to help with the funeral costs, but they didn't have the money to help. It must be so difficult to be surrounded by so many needs every day when you're only one small group with limited resources.

This is from the Bible Orphan Ministry blog:
  
This is unusual cemetery, because here buried children with special needs...
Some of them never saw a face their mommy, never heard warmly and tenderly words, never  played, never felt mothers hands, never played any game or with any toy, never saw sunshine or even breathe a fresh air...

We believe they are in the heaven with Jesus Christ, Who loves them so much that died for them on the cross and arise from the dead to give a new life!

  1. As the Church, this must break our hearts, every eye must see, and every hand must act!! God forgive us if we look away!!

    Thank you, Sabrina, for bringing our brothers and sisters into the light...they are little lights that need to be made brighter!!
