Laughing Out Loud Orphanage - Prayer Walking

Psalm 126:2 NIV

“Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’”

And so He has for the Laughing Out Loud Orphanage.
Pictured here is the gate to LOL Orphanage.

Our visit to LOL Saturday afternoon was almost beyond comprehension. There is not time here to relate all the “great things” the Lord has done for them – but they are indeed great. From one idea shared from school and church to families and then to other churches and their families – an orphanage was born.

After 3 years of labor, the license was granted 2 days ago. With 2 toddlers and a 7 month old baby, they have a beginning and room for a total of 35 children from birth to age 8. Everything they have has come from the Lord through others; our God is an awesome God.

The fence project is completed with the hanging of three gates.

We are very proud to leave a finished work for TCA and its school children. They now have a safe and clean playground on which to play. The work of our hands has done a work in and for others.

It is hard to believe this is our last day in Belize. Our reflections last night reminded us how quickly time flies and how soon we would be leaving our friends

and our mission.

We all agreed that the experience has been beyond our expectations, and we have been blessed beyond belief. As we pack up for the trip to the airport early tomorrow morning, we are looking forward to seeing families and friends back home. We have missed you all greatly; words cannot adequately express the joy we have felt here and the appreciation we have for your prayers and encouragement. We have delighted in being both accountable to our church family for our mission work here and in sharing our experiences in a way others could enjoy and participate in vicariously.

Please pray for our safe journey home. We will blog one more time on Tuesday to let you all know we are back safely. We love you all dearly and thank you for loving us.

Patricia and the Team
