Four core values

We had a wonderful weekend together with our friends in Guatemala. Before church on Sunday we had some time with Corbey Dukes, the Field Director of Kids Alive Guatemala, who shared with us some general information about what’s going on with the ministry and some plans for the future. But there’s nothing “general” about what they are doing here. Day after day Corbey and his staff are dealing with the fall out of evil that has been forced upon innocent young girls who have been deeply and repeatedly traumatized. We were painfully reminded of the abuse the girls have endured and the long-term needs they have. He shared with us the four core values they work on with the girls on a regular basis:  1) I am God’s daughter.  Through Jesus Christ, 2) I am clean. 3) I have a purpose and value. 4) I have power, which gives me hope. It was so cool to hear him say, “God is a warrior!” There is healing and transformation happening here.
