"1As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. 4But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." - Ephesians 2:1-10
1¶ Nou menm moun Efèz, nou te mouri poutèt mechanste ak peche nou yo. 2Se nan bagay sa yo nou t'ap viv nan tan lontan. Nou t'ap swiv move kouran ki nan lemonn, nou t'ap fè volonte chèf otorite yo ki nan lè a, move lespri k'ap travay koulye a nan moun k'ap dezobeyi Bondye yo. 3Lè sa a, nou menm jwif yo, nou te menm jan ak yo. Nou t'ap mennen lavi nou dapre egzijans lachè, nou t'ap fè kapris kò nou ak tout vye lide ki te vin nan tèt nou. Konsa, nou menm jwif, jan nou te ye a, nou te kondannen pou n' te tonbe anba kolè Bondye tankou lòt yo. 4¶ Men, Bondye sitèlman gen kè sansib, li sitèlman renmen nou, 5li ban nou lavi ankò ansanm ak Kris la, nou menm ki te mouri akòz peche nou yo. Se yon favè Bondye fè nou lè li delivre nou. 6Ansanm ak Kris la, Bondye fè nou leve soti nan lanmò, li fè nou chita jouk anwo nan syèl la ansanm ak li tou. 7Li fè tou sa pou moutre pou tout tan ki gen pou vini yo jan li renmen nou anpil anpil, jan li aji byen avèk nou nan Jezikri. 8Se paske li renmen nou kifè li delivre nou, nou menm ki mete konfyans nou nan li. Sa pa soti nan nou menm menm, se yon kado Bondye ban nou. 9Non, nou pa fè anyen pou sa. Konsa, pesonn pa ka vante tèt yo. 10Se Bondye ki fè nou. Nan Jezikri li kreye nou pou nou ka fè anpil bon zèv nan lavi nou, dapre sa li te pare davans pou nou te fè. - Ephesians 2:1-10
SPECIAL 3 Kid tonight TONIGHT ONLY hahah:
Daniel and his brother Keso have been living in our neighborhood since we moved there. They lived with their mother (a widow) and two sisters on a vacant lot. The mother got very ill and could no longer care for the boys so we offered to take them into the orphanage. Since moving in, he has adapted well and truly loves the home and his new "family." Daniel started school and is doing well. He loves playing basketball, cops and robbers and loves singing worship songs and learning about the bible.
Richard is a sweet and energetic boy. Both Richard and his brother Willie are extremely helpful, always looking for ways to help out. Richard's passion is worship and his high, loud singing voice can be heard above all 30 boys during our praise and worship sessions. He loves to worship, play soccer and do work projects around the home. He will often follow an adult around waiting for a new "project." Both Richard and his brother are our newest residents and are well loved by the other boys and staff.

Gregory is one of the newest residents at Maison de Lumiere. With both parents dying in the same year, Gregory ended up with his grandmother. She died three years later. A missionary helped him find a family to live with but when they moved back to the country, he was left homeless. After sleeping on rooftops and roaming the streets a missionary found him and brought him to Maison de Lumiere (The Lighthouse). Since arriving at The Lighthouse, Gregory has taken to his new home well and is well-liked by the children. He loves school, playing soccer and learning the Bible.
