I wanted to share with you the message below from my assistant Terryll who left with a team this week to serve with our partner in China...
A few months ago, World Orphans shared with you about our exciting new partnership in China – joining hands with Chinese believers to rescue orphaned and abandoned children. We have a team on the way this week to work alongside our partner church to reach out to the community and share the love of Christ with precious children.
Our partner is very active throughout China. In addition to operating children’s homes, they are actively reaching out to local teenagers through English camps. Our partner recognizes the need for English and facilitates Christian native English speakers to come alongside teens and assist them with their conversational English. Throughout the teaching process, there are many opportunities for teachers to share their faith with these teens who are desperate to know Truth.
We believe that only the Gospel can transform cultures. We believe it is the duty of the church to bring the Gospel to communities. In a culture that fosters abandonment, especially of baby girls, we want to help the church offer a new hope and truth – the love of Jesus – to rescued children and within the community, ultimately influencing and changing hearts, lives, and generations.
I am excited to be part of this team! We will be serving with our partner in China for three weeks. We greatly covet your prayers for our safety as we travel and that the love of Christ would be evident to all those we meet. Thank you for your encouragement through prayer and support for this important work.
