A Night to Remember

" These three girls have been with us for a long time. They grew up in this children’s home. As I was praying today, God reminded me that we all are daughter’s of the KING. He wants us to know that. In a very special way, God is showing that to these three girls tonight.” Cony, the director of Manantial de amor told me this last thursday the night of the quincenera for three girls from their home. Her words are true for all of us. And in a very tangible way He was showing these girls what they mean to Him. Usually we (B2B) are able to provide a dress, a few humble gifts, a few flowers and a meal for the children’s home they live in and any family that can attend. Because of a great donation of a woman’s group for a warm reception room, free hair and makeup by a relative of staff, donations from folks through a petition on facebook and email, these girls received royal treatment. They all got the gown of their dreams. Thursday night was in the low 50’s/high 40’s and rainy. So the room inside a Mexican buffet restaurant was a huge blessing. Edgar, the director, gave the message and the woman’s group shared in the ceremony giving the symbolic gifts a girl receives (like a watch, bible, ring and pillow). Dancing followed the ceremony and dinner to round out a perfect evening. If you are interested in helping to make a night to remember for a 15 year old girl in one of our children's home, send a check with quincenera in the Memo and/or contact the B2B office. www.back2backministries.org
