Today was one of the hardest days of my life.  While we were in Bulgaria, we say many homeless people, but today, as we went to the center of the city of Guatemala City, I saw one of the worst sites ever.  Small little children, left alone on a step as the mother helped herself with her drug habit.  Two little boys, one 4 and another around 6 left cold and hungry.   It was a terrible site, to watch little ones so hungry.  As we talked with them, the smallest boy just sat and watched.  He didn't touch his food.  We prayed for him for some time and I think he even fell asleep!  He still wouldn't touch his food.  Occationally, he would look up and smile shyly.  

I realized that he wouldn't eat because we were there.  I told the others to walk away so he would eat.  Sure enough, when we left, he began to eat and drink.  

Lord, you said your kingdom was such as a small child.   Please protect them while here on earth.  Keep them safe and bring their mother to the full knowledge of Jesus Christ.  LOrd send your angels around them to protect them not only from the elements, but from predicessors,and harm.

I also ask that you would keep that young boy who traveled from Hondurus at the age of 8 all the way to Guatemala, just to keep away from his parents.  Lord, keep him from gangs, and drugs.

Even that women who had that young boy, as we prayed and the smell of glue that stiffled me, please protect that young one.  He is so helpless.
