Ecclesiastes 11:1 ¶ Cast thy bread upon the waters: for
thou shalt find it after many days.
This word is true in the process of formation in the life of the 4
Maturana brothers; Judis, Oscar, Over and Omar, (on the picture to the
right) whom come from the province of Uraba. They have lived their worst
nightmare as they witnessed their father stabbing their mom and killing
himself while falling in the arms of his oldest son. Their mother was
rushed to the hospital but did not survive the ordeal and died after
several days.
In the beginning each one of them showed different reactions in their
behavior like; isolation, fear, rage, hatred, frequent crying and
showing much pain and symptoms that affected their education and
learning process. Always accompanied by memories and important dates
where their parents would have been with them while alive. Nevertheless
the unity of brotherhood they showed among them and their emotional
structure helped a little. The overprotection of the older brother to
take care of them and to protect them was very significant and for a
long time we did not know what to do about that but to pray and try to
understand the situation.
After this time help from professional people, counseling and the love
of God have helped in the recovery of the loss of their parents and
understanding that we are part of their family, seeing God as their
father. They improved in their learning skills and progressed in school
and improved their relationship with other people.
The other boys and girls who live in our houses have finished the school
year with excellent grades, having received nominations of honor by
their school. They have also done great in the areas of socializing,
reeducation and Christian principles through their actions thanks to
what they have learned from our great staff.
For all the experience, we give thanks to God for His provision and
faithfulness for the ministry.
God’s blessings and Merry Christmas to you. |
