Family of 4 The night of the Big feed, we had met Pastor Felix and his wonderful family for dinner. There was so much food left over that we took the left overs in bags to find some people to give it to. We asked God to lead us and ended up going down some streets we hadnāt been down before. We came across a group of 4 small children huddled in an open shelter the size of a phone box and fed them. The youngest was 4 years old.Ā
The next day we met them again and took them shopping for food and clothes and spent the day with these beautiful kids.Ā
