In fact most live in dire poverty. We work long and hard in our churches to make choir robes, matching clothes, different outfits for our special services and Sunday services. It makes the people feel better about themselves and encourages them to dress nicely.
Yes it is a tradition to have different choirs..and robes...

That is really interesting, Sis. Alvear. We can definately feel your love for these people as we look at the pictures you post and the things you do to bring them to Christ. God bless you and your family!

My greatest joy is to see hem come to the Lord and watch them change. Right this minute a group of men left our home headed for the jungle. We have very precious people that Jesus has washed in His blood.

Our adopted daughter Rebecca and missionary Chad Thomas. They have made a wonderful couple and good workers for the Lord.
(sorry for those that have feelings against white and blacks getting married)
