This afternoon a few of us went into a slum to do a bible study type thing with the kids living there. As part of ARK (the ministry we work with) they run these types of programs every week in all of the slums that the kids come to Nak Suu (the rugby program that they run every weekend).
We went into a community that’s entirely built over a swamp/pond area. Going in there was crazy to see the way that these kids live. They live getting only one meal a day, at the most. Most of the people in this slum are from Cambodia, a lot of them are illegal immigrants. Because of that, they’re scared to even let their kids come to our programs, because they’re scared that the police will take the kids, and bring them back to Cambodia.
When we got there, we just found a bit of an open space and played a bunch of games with the kids, and then taught them the story of creation. It was really cool, because they had been learning about it a bit already, so the way that we did it today was that we brought pictures of creation, and then they told us the story of creation. The kids love learning about God so much, it’s awesome to see.
