Remember Ambassadors

Last time I visited the Mae La Refugee Camp, here on the border of Thailand and Burma, the children of the Freedom House Orphanage sang the familiar song, "God Will Make A Way."  Their singing brought tears to my eyes, becaue when these children sang, "God will make a way, where there seems to be no way…" they were really in a situation where there seemed to be no way.  Their circumstances were such that, outside of Christ, there was no hope.

This morning I had the indescribable pleasure of seeing these children again, and again hearing them sing that chorus.  And yet again, their singing brought tears to my eyes, but this time for a very different reason.  God has made a way for them, where there seemed to be no way.  A new note of hope is ringing out through the Freedom House, sparked by their imminent resettlement.

Our team spent the day in the camp, doing medical work for the children at the orphanage.  God blessed our efforts, and we were able to see all of the children for preliminary check-ups and physicals.  Tomorrow we have the opportunity to go back to the camp and do follow up medical work for the children that need it, prescribe medications for them, and fellowship with these precious young brothers and sisters in Christ.

We can feel your prayers, in the literal, physical sense, as we see God's hand at work preparing the way for us.  Thank you for being a part of this work!
