My wife and I have known this Orphanage Director and his wife for 9 years. They left their comfortable living here in the USA 11 years ago to teach English as a second language for one year. On the weekends, they would venture out to visit and found a city known as "The Cave People."
Many live in terrible conditions and if the parents die, the children are left to live in terrible conditions, many times contracting Hepetitis. This couple have endured many hardships but have obeyed the Lord's calling on their lives by serving.
We Thank you for giving to this Orphanage for it is blessing they truely needed. Here is there email of gratitude..........
Hello Bill and Connie,
It is so nice to hear from you and we (including all the children) all soclearly remember your visit. On many occasions they will talk about thepuppets and in fact that inspired the children to do their own puppet show acouple of years later in the large Gongyi city park. It was quite wellaccepted.
So do appreciate your remembering us during this time of financial duress.It is interesting that just the day before Shan and I were talking aboutvarious and upcoming expenses and how even though times are tough right nowwe still felt the Lord wanted us to open Number Three.... And of course ourconversation ended as it always does... "He sent us here... He's not goingto let us down... Ever!" So needless to say when we received your letterregarding the upcoming offering it was quite an encouragement.
Thank You.
It would so nice if you could plan to visit again in the near future...Would be a real treat...
Blessings to you and I will for sure let you know when the funds arrive.There is often a few days delay from the time offerings arrive in our SanAntonio office and when we receive notification of them here... So pleaseunderstand that.
In His Love and Grace,
Nathan and Shannie
