Since the government quarantine announcement, our residential receiving home announced s lockdown or “off limits” order to assure our children and staff’s safety. In spite of what was happening, Mr A (who prefers to be anonymous) always remembered Concordia’s children. He leaves donations at the gate to keep social distancing rules. Our children enjoy his contributions of rice, eggs, and other food.
One of our staff members had a chance to ask about his motivation for giving to our children. He said, “I am helping because it is part of being a Christian; Christ teaches us to look out for those around us, especially those in distress.” He quoted James 1:27, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this; to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
