Precious orphans in Myanmar

We were blessed to present the orphans in Myanmar, who  Love In Action sponsors,
with beautiful handmade quilts. Thank you Linda West of Harvest Church-Dothan
for making these quilts.

Martha and I had the privilege of visiting the orphans today in Yangon, Myanmar, who Love In Action sponsors. Oh, they are so precious, smart and talented.

Pastor Siang and his wife already had two children of their own when they took in 11 orphans. Their hearts just went out to the children and they couldn’t stand the thought of the children growing up on the streets, so they took them in. When they did, Pastor Siang explained it all to me.  I told him Love In Action would help as much as we can. It hasn’t been easy, but we’ve been able to provide support. We still need individual sponsors, though. It’s only $30 a month to sponsor one child.

Imagine taking on the task of raising 13 children and providing for their needs. Our brothers and sisters in Yangon are not wealthy people. In fact, they are extremely poor. So, opening an orphanage was a big step of faith.

Martha and I thoroughly enjoyed today. The children sang several songs for us. One of them can be viewed on our YouTube page by clicking here, https://youtu.be/zJvUVogqyJQ

We are so impressed with the children and how Pastor Siang and his wife are taking care of them. It’s easy to see the children are well loved and know they are by how they act. There is laughter and joy in their voices and on their faces. They are very polite and help do chores around the house.

We are praying for more help in sponsoring the children. Just $30 a month is a very inexpensive investment in the life of an orphan. We are also praying to provide money to hire a helper. Could you imagine cooking, washing clothes and cleaning daily for 13 children? For only $65 a month we can hire a helper. That would be a huge blessing.

Pastor Siang also asked us to help them come up with a name for the orphanage. Please help us pray for the right name, and if you have any suggestions please let us know.

We want to give a very special thank you to Linda West, who attends Harvest Church in Dothan, Alabama. God touched Linda’s heart to make each orphan a guilt. Such a beautiful gesture of love. The children loved the guilts, and they were perfect for them. They were so excited. We also want to say a special thank you to Jim and Keitha Lanley, who purchased to large totes for us to bring the quilts in from the US. It’s great what the Body of Christ can do when we work together.

We were also blessed to be able to give the orphanage a new HP laptop. This will be.a great tool in helping with the children’s education.

Please pray for these precious children, and please help us financially. God tells us in James 1:27, “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction ...”
