Portion for Orphans

Safe and smooth arrival ... Casey and I spent the afternoon and evening at the first Mercy Orphanage yesterday. It's a home for 40 precious kids that are HIV+. My favorite part of the evening was after dinner when all the kids gathered around for a devotional. They do this each night and a different caregiver teaches them something from the Bible. The older boys are learning guitar and they led the group in a few worship songs, ones you would know but in the Thai language. It was very neat to see all the children worshiping so wholeheartdely and respectfully. PFO donors have enabled us to provide $15,000 of support for these chidlren in the last year and a half. These funds help provide school uniforms and supplies as well as nutritional meals. I'll post pictures when I'm able, for now we are heading out to the next center a few hours West of here towards Chiang Mai. We'll be visiting with the founders concerning current needs and future projects we can help support. Please be praying for the Mercy kids and John Kay as he is in China.
