Today we visited the orphanage that has been Mei’s home for the past 2.5 years. Thankfully he will not have to call that place home again. There are many good things to be said about the orphanage, but it is still an orphanage where children are abandoned by their families. The conditions at this particular orphanage are great compared to the standard for orphanages in this particular country but compared to the standards in the US the doors of this place would have been closed a long time ago.
Due to security reasons we have opted to not give specifics related to the conditions of the orphanage in this blog. However, if any of you would like to hear more about the orphanage we would love to share with you in person. We believe people need to know how children are living in orphanages around the world. The only way people will ever work to make changes is to know that changes are needed. There are already some great folks working to help make changes in this particular orphanage and orphanages around the world, but there is still so much work that needs to be done. Feel free to ask...we will be glad to share.
I am glad Shannon, Bailey, and Bryan got to see the orphanage for themselves. Bailey had a very difficult time and broke down because it was such a hard thing to see. I pray the Lord uses this experience in his life. I pray the Lord will use this as a catalyst that helps Bailey grow to have a desire to make a difference in the world for Abba’s glory among all nations. Bryan who has no children of his own, was loving on and holding these children.
