Our hearts were broken as we visited the orphanage in Shell directed by Patty Sue. There are 25 full time employees working in 24 hour shifts ministering and loving up to 68 children at one time. These orphans are brought from the neighboring communities and the jungle tribes where they are abandoned and some are handicapped and disabled. The facilities are less then adequate, but by God's grace they are being provided for. The children range from birth to 11 years old where then they are taken to another orphanage in Baños for older children. The children are being cared for with good meals, health care, education, speaking English and most important God's Word. Patty sue is asking for much prayer and also for the Lord to bring a good teacher to teach Biblical education.
