When we adopted 14 destitute children in the Chin hills of Myanmar in 1998, the country was ruled by a military junta, where the persecution of Christians and the violation of human rights were a daily occurrence. Despite the constant danger both to our staff on the ground and ourselves, we knew God had led us to Myanmar.
“We are overjoyed to pursue our passion for dancing, and we hope for more opportunities in the future. Your prayers mean the world to us, and we’re thrilled to be doing what we love” said 16-year-old Ngua, also known as ‘dancer’ amongst his peers. He was one of the seven children at our Agape Home in Myanmar who participated in a recent regional dance competition. During the past few months, the children at the home have been pursuing their hobbies by dancing together, an activity that has been a light amidst dark times.
Obed joined our Mercy Home in 2013 where he as surrounded by love and care, he received medical treatment when needed, nutritious food daily and a life-changing education.
“The children under Stand by Me are so blessed. They can go to school without any worries and stresses. They have friends (sponsors) from other country, and they are so happy and proud of it.”
Ten kids have recently joined our Stand by Me family in Myanmar. It is a privilege to be able to welcome new children into our care and provide them with a family to look after them.
These children will now receive the best care and plenty of love. They have been through suffering, but now they have hope for a brighter future.
