A New Documentary on Orphan Care: The Drop Box

I don't normally re-post from other blogs but I felt this was worth seeing.

The problem I see with promoting this is once it gets enough attention the government will come in a force regulations and changes to the point where the pastor will no longer be able to do what he does.  Then the babies are on the streets again.

Too many times does rules and regulation keep us from doing what is right.

I'd say do what is right anyway.
Don't let a secular law keep us from doing what your feel called to do.  If need be go to jail doing it.

What are we willing to die for?   Got to think about what sacrifice we're willing to make for someone else.

A New Documentary on Orphan Care: The Drop Box

Time-lapse

The first time-lapse video created at the orphanage 

This 30 second time-lapse video created by Mike and Rianne Roberts

was produced in and afternoon out in our front year back in August '12 

Kind of inspires me to do one.

Hawaii and Japan teams

 We got to see Martha  while visiting a Sunday school we use to help a lot.

I think shes 4 years old now and doing really well.

Tate's been doing a lot of translating lately and he is very good.

Tate has also started to learn Korean.   

The team roasted a pig for the kids, Hawaii style.

Teams from Japan too

Pastor Travis   VS   2nd grade

Joe the ladies man.  He 6 years old and very interested in girls.

Helping out at school

Melor Update

I am sorry for  leaving the prayer request open for so long on Melor.
We had a rough week last week that daily put distance between the posts.

We took Melor to the city last week because we suspected the local diagnosis was incorrect.  Melor wasn't displaying most of the symptoms you would see from Typhoid.
It turns out no he didn't have Typhoid just an infection in his throat that was causing fevers.  The village doc was giving him shots, iv's and meds he didn't really need.

So everything got all sorted out and I think Melor"s back at work.  We asked him to call us a little earlier next time and to use the doctor in the city next time.

Thank you all for the prayers.



Also set Melor a Facebook account though I am not sure when he'll check it next.  He sent out a number of friend requests while he was with us.



 

Second Round of Christmas Photos

Melor was invited for Christmas which was really good for the kids.  Having him drop feeds the kids hope they get to see and hear the first child making it and going through life.  They hear his challenge and his success.
