Hi, I'm Elany.

Hi I’m Elany. I’m 10 years old and have lived on the street my entire life. My mom was murdered and my dad is dead. I get by day to day by shining shoes. However, most people just shoo me away because I’m known as a “street kid”. I feel unloved, abandoned, and have no one and nothing to call my own except my shoeshine kit and the clothes on my back. I went to Caroline's mission house today for the first shower I’ve ever had and a real meal. I ate 3 huge sandwiches, a huge plate of rice, and was still hungry! Please pray for me...I just want to know what love is. #missionaryatheart

“People tell me I am brave. People tell me I am strong. People tell me good job. Well here is the truth of it. I am really not that brave, I am not really that strong, and I am not doing anything spectacular. I am just doing what God called me to do as a follower of Him. Feed His sheep, do unto the least of His people." -Katie Davis
Meet Davil...He is 19 years old and has severe cerebal palsy. Please pray strength and healing over this sweet boy! #missionaryatheart

Tropical Storm

Tropical storm...6-8 inches of rain...no James Spann...no weather reports...pouring rain for a solid 48 hours. 
Imagine rain pouring in the holes in your tin roof. Rain blowing in through the holes in your walls and soaking what little you have. Your dirt floor has turned into total mud. 
Imagine the water that has filled the village and the kids are playing in is filled with disease and garbage.
Imagine that soggy wet feeling you get sometimes where you just want to get dry and take a hot shower. That's impossible right now. You can’t get dry. You can’t take a hot shower, put on clean clothes, and snuggle up in your warm and cozy bed. 
Welcome to a storm in a third world country.
My friends are soaked...they are wet and I can’t help. I offered my bed but that will only sleep 2 or 3 people. The floor will sleep a few more. But what about the tens of thousands that can’t come in out of the rain? 
I can’t imagine being so wet. I truly can’t. But this is life for my friends.  
My friends are wet. And all I can do is pray for sunshine.
