The kids enjoyed a beautiful day at The Haven farm. The Haven is a Christian drug rehabilitation center that offers housing, counseling and life skills to its tenants. The kids sang some songs for the director of the Haven and were then taken to the farm. This was the first time some of the children had ever seen live animals up close. There was no fear in these kids as the cows moved close to the fence to allow the kids to pet them. Some of the kids asked, “Which one is the mommy and which one is the daddy?
Afterwards, the kids had naps, dinner and then it was time for them to get ready for the first night at the Greenock Town Hall meeting. On the way to the meeting, one of the children was looking very serious with an intense expression on her face and when asked what she was thinking about, she stated “My mommy.” During praise and worship, one of the kids looked around the balcony where we were sitting and said in astonishment, “I see people from Times Square Church all over the place!”
Again, on the way back to the hotel, another child was quiet and withdrawn. When asked what she was thinking about, she stated “My mommy.” This is part of the work and ministry these children are involved in. Sacrificing time away from their parents so that they can serve and minister to the people of Greenock.
