\n(these are the kids who can’t afford schooling and go for days without food. they will purely come because they are guaranteed a meal, but will walk away having experienced the love of Christ through hearing the gospel, being loved on, singing fun praise songs, playing games and of course, a much needed meal.<\/em>)<\/p>\n
\n(each of us personally teaching truth and debunking myths about AIDS as well as speaking the gospel to classrooms of hundreds of 5th-8th graders<\/em>)<\/p>\n
\n(these are kids who are either orphans displaced by AIDS or who’s guardians can’t provide for them. most have never left home, live just a few miles from the ocean but have never seen it, have never heard the gospel and will for the very first time. they will stay with us for 3 days and have a once-in-a-lifetime experience.<\/em>)<\/p>\n
