How many children do you have to have to be a father? The more, the merrier, maybe! I think this is the case with us here at Living Waters Children's Home. Including our two biological children who are still with us, we have 16 children from age 4 years old to 20 who greeted me Happy Father's Day last Sunday. Our home is filled with children's noise from early morning till sleeping time. There is plenty of little boys' yelling, girls' giggles, children's fights and a lot of times unending reporting of this guy did this and that guy did that! There is also the unending competition of the little ones for attention from Papa and Mama. Taking care of these many children has definitely added to our daily work load but the added dimension has become another avenue of joy and fulfilment in our lives and ministry.
