China's Winter Storms and the Orphans

Dear Family and Friends,

This has been on my heart for the last few weeks and I am asking you to pray about perhaps supporting the orphans in China.

As some of you know, nearly all of China was recently hit with some very severe weather. Many of the already struggling orphanages have been hit very hard. In some cases there is no electricity or running water. Many of the children, especially the babies, are becoming ill.

I don't have any word yet on Sophie's orphanage, but there are so many that are in need. It weighs heavy on my heart. My daughter could easily have been part of this catastrophie had the Lord not worked things as He did.

Someone recently reminded me that during this time, there are still babies being born that will be abandoned. Pray for these children. Pray that the LORD will keep his loving hand of protection over them. They are so helpless, these little ones.

If you would like to donate to help in assisting these orphanages the following groups have a good reputation:

Please, if you do not feel called to support the children financially, please keep them in prayer.

Blessings,
Chinamom and Sophie
