We are beginning to get ready for our 2009 annual Mission Trip to China from February 24- March 4th! Our goal is to visit 5 or 6 orphanages in 7 days. A Mother's Love has various projects being funded at each of these orphanages. They include Hope Foster Home, Bethel, and New Day (all in Beijing), Maria's Big House of Hope (Luoyang), and Xian City Orphanage (Xian). You can Google each of these places and visit their websites for more information.
This year, Jeff Knipe will be accompanied by John Ridenour, a long-time supporter of A Mother's Love and great brother in Christ. We have been praying daily for continued health before and during our trip as well as the ability to make a lasting difference in the lives of the orphans.
James 1:27 states "it is pure and undefiled religion to care for widows and orphans in their distress." John and I are looking forward to visiting the Fields of the Fatherless in China and ask that you will pray for us during our trip. We will do our best to update the blog on a daily basis. But please be patient as our itinerary is packed full of planes, trains, and automobiles! Before the trip, we are gathering supplies here in the US to take over to China with us. Communications have been sent to many in the Central Florida area asking for donations of clothes, medicine, and other items which are desperately needed to provide proper care to these children.

ReplyDeleteHey Papa John! Brittnee was confident that she saw you at school yesterday and I had to explain to her that you were in China so now she is terribly confused.....really thought she saw you and was waving to you....wonder who it was-ha! We are praying for your trip tonight and can't wait to hear all about it when you come back.
