Four More Sweet Children

Here are four more faces of children who I am begging you to pray for.

Underneath his tough exterior, Rudy is a sweet little boy. More and more, everyday, that rough exterior cracks. I proudest of Rudy when he is with his little brothers or with Antonio. The other day Antonio fell off his tricycle, and Rudy picked him up to make sure he was okay. Rudy was taken from his family because he was found too many times begging. His mother is not a cruel person by any means, but she is desperate.Please pray that this little guy's rough exterior will crack completely.I call her crazy hair, as you can see why. But I also call her Monica. Monica is Katty and Fernando's older sister. As you read before, Monica's parents are crazy, and unfortunately, Monica also is mentally handicapped. Though she is slower at time, she is a sweet girl. She is all about being up in your face and loving on you. Please pray that she can develop properly and is not held back by her disabilities.
This is Luby, our natural born leader who simply needs to focus his leadership ability in a good way. Luby was a street kid by name, but he did have a home. However this home was a not a place a refuge. Luby has scars on his body from where he was beat and burned, a long with many other things. His tough past follows him wherever he goes, but with the Lord's help, Luby can turn his horrible past and use it for good someday. Each day we see glimpse of his little heart breaking through the rough facade he is so used to putting up. Pray that this kid can push down this facade.
Today is this little girl's 5th birthday. Though she just turned five today, Cindy's life has been filled with so many adult things. Cindy was physically and sexually abused by her father before she was taken to Casitas Kennedy. She, on occasion, can be a handful, especially during nap time. She can be down right defiant. But she can also be the sweetest little girl that you will ever meet. Pray that Cindy will finally live beyond her past, and will simply grow-up as a little girl without care.

Pray.
