Today we are going to take a look at 2 schools in Nepal. Can you find Nepal on the map?
These two schools work with child that God created who have to communicate in special ways. Christians in Nepal are making a difference in the lives of these special children. Though they have people who take care of them physically, Christians help them to know that they are important to Jesus and beautiful to Him. When we realize that everyone is important to Jesus, we will want to tell them about Him.
