(Beatriz and Mario, house one parents)
(their biological children Jose Mario, and Loida)




A family portrait! My hope is that this image hanging on the wall of their home will be a visual reminder to the sweet orphans that they belong to a family.
House two parents- Elsy and Orlando - They have one biological son that Elsy is holding in the family portrait below (not Jair in the red hat but Esdras,in the blue)


I am often overwhelmed with sorrow for all of the suffering in the world. I can relate to ol’ Johnny Cash, the man in black, who vowed to wear the dark color as a reminder of the pain, until Jesus came back. 147 million (orphans) is a much larger number than I can wrap my mind around. However, I was filled with joy this morning as I sat organizing these images because Josue, Dagoberto, Julissa, Carolina, Jair, Alama, Douglas, Kenneth and Fanny are no longer forgotten, abandoned, or institutionalized. Thank you Jesus for La Providencia, the Holliday family, the house parents, workers, and supporters of PWM that are commited to loving your precious children. My hope for the Portrait of Providence project is to give hope by shining a light on His grace and mercy, administered through believers. Onward Christian soldiers!
Be strong and take heart, all you who HOPE in the Lord -Psalm 31:24
