News from China

I just received an email update from Dawn, she is a teacher at the Philip Hayden Foundation that our team had the incredible privilege of meeting just before heading back home. It was really great to hear from her and to get an update on what is going on there. What is going on? Well, God is working - as we knew He was. A little girl we met, named Ginger, is getting ready to have a surgery that she desperately needs - God has allowed our church to be a part of that and we raised over $2000.00 for the funds needed. Another little girl, Hayden, has a large tumor on her face and is also in need of surgery - it was great to hear from Dawn that she is getting ready to have that done. We also recently made contact with a momma only 2-1/2 hours away from us that is awaiting word from China so she can bring home the little boy she has adopted named Elijah. Elijah is living at the orphanage we stayed at - how cool is that? We went half way around the world and met with an incredibly awesome little boy to find out he is going to be living only 2-1/2 hours away from us here in the states. Please, as you read this, left up a prayer on behalf of all the staff at PHF, the kids, their needs, their "forever" families - they are doing an incredible work there. In case you are like me and can't get enough of this incredible ministry, I have listed Dawn's blog in the margin - it is titled "Living with Orphans". (Pictures: Elijah and Ginger)
