Ron met with a church of Christ minister and this congregation is very interested in helping find a couple willing to work as the house parents for the new safe house in Chiang Mei, Thailand. This congregation has three ministers. It would be ideal if one of these ministers decided to take this job. The safe house is about an hour from this large congregation so a new congregation could begin with the girls in this area.
Ron paid $20 for a taxi to take him to this congregation so it will be too far for the girls to attend this congregation each Sunday.
Three of our girls were baptized in Nepal yesterday. I am sure the water is very cold there now.
If you want to see what life is like in Nepal (especially in the Himalayan Mountains) search YouTube for NEPAL - SNOWLAND CHILDREN. It tells the story of a school established by a Monk and it takes you with three students returning home to visit relatives after completing high school and being away from relatives for 10 years or more. After a long trip, they find out what life is like for their relatives and understand why their relatives sent them away at a very young age so they can get an education and have hope for a better life.
We are very thankful for our supporters/sponsors who provide the opportunity for a better life for the girls we care for at our safe houses. We care for girls in Nepal, Laos, Thailand and the Philippines.
