Tena wanted to give our kids and other Bamako TCKs (third culture kids) an opportunity for ministry and community service this summer.

It's been so amazing to watch Tena and the kids and other helpers pioneer this activity. To say this endeavor has been a success would be a huge understatement.

Tena and some other adult leaders take the kids to spend a half day at the orphanage each week, to hold, care for, and play with the many babies, young children, and handicapped kids there.

All involved have been greatly blessed, as they have sought to be a blessing and to practice "pure" religion (James 1:27).
