It has also encouraged me, as in "Encourage one another" how the community of God works together to support each other and help "grow up" the kids of Asia's Hope. As parents you know how much you want your children surrounded by other adults who will love and encourage them.
In Battambang, we have had faithful friends in Jill and Kevin Kane, who serve with Grace Brethren's Encompass ministry, yet have found time for years to teach English to the kids at Asia's Hope, and fellowship with them on Sunday.
At the same time in Phnom Penh, Narin Chey and his wife Quenie have been long time friends of Asia's Hope, while also pastoring at Gospel Christian Fellowship, and providing early childhood education to some at ABC-123 International School which Quenie founded.
One of the visions of the GCF (Gospel Christian Fellowship) was to begin a student dormitory for university students. At the same time, some of the oldest children in the Prek Eng homes were preparing to graduate high school, and begin university studies. They have found student living space in Phnom Penh in the dormitory run by the GCF where they continue to be surrounded by the love and concern of others.
Sopang, their Asia's Hope house parent at Prek Eng 1, reported with a laugh
that they tend to come back home on Sundays, because they miss the cooking of their house mom! Doesn't that just sound like a boy!!
It is the networking of the love of God that has been the encouragement today. Thank you all.
