The WMFJ Children’s Ministry is now called “H.O.P.E. Kids”! The idea for the H.O.P.E. ministry is to help the people in our community excel in different areas of their lives, both spiritually and physically. As a part of helping them excel physically, we recently shared with the children the importance of having proper hygiene. We told them that their bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and that they need to take of it by making sure they bathe every day, brush their teeth, wear clean clothes, cut their fingernails and keep their hair neat. When we had our next meeting after we introduced this to them, it was exciting to see these young kids freshly bathed, teeth brushed and wearing not necessarily brand new clothes, but clean and washed clothes. Many times, because of where these kids live and their lifestyle, their parents don’t teach them about proper hygiene, because they themselves don’t know what it means and how to do it. This causes frequent sicknesses like cough, cold, diarrhea and even skin diseases to happen and get passed on to other members of the family. We are excited to be able to impart even the most basic thing to these kids and hopeful that their parents will see the change and be encouraged to do the same.
