Monthly Project Report: Burma Orphans (May 2017)

5/26/2017

Adonai Child Rehabilitation is a Christian faith-based ministry in Kalaymyo, Burma that was established in May 2016. This ministry creates a place of rehabilitation for children and teenagers from various backgrounds like orphans, unwanted children, street children, and poor children.

The children enjoy each other's fellowship.

We praise the Lord for His faithfulness upon the ACR orphans as we move forward by God’s grace and mercy. Special thanks go to Ms. Nancy and her organization Agape Fish Fund for their generous support and prayer for our orphans. We also express our heartfelt gratitude to all our prayer partners and private donors from the local community and abroad. May the Lord bless them physically and spiritually.

Summer Tutoring Update

We are so thankful to Ms. Hno Chin Par and Ms. Hoi Tha Dim for giving their time to teach our orphans and giving them a free summer education. They teach English, Mathematics, Burmese and the Chin vernacular dialect to improve the orphans' skills. These two teachers are college graduates and applicants of government jobs. We thank God that now they both have gotten government jobs as school teachers in Chin state. Thanks to the summer classes, all our orphan children have really improved in writing, reading, and calculating.

Orphans Enjoy donated Coconuts

The orphans received a gift of coconuts.

Coconuts are plentiful around the Kalaymyo area, but our orphans don't have opportunities to drink and eat them. We thank God for moving the heart of an unbeliever woman named Ma Htike, who lives nearby our orphanage. She gave 6 coconuts to our orphans. We are so grateful for Ma Htike's generosity and love for the orphans. Our God is great, that He would even move the hearts of unbelievers to help the orphans.

sunflower Oil and Clothing donated

A farmer named Mr. Biak Nun Sang from Hakhalay village of Kalay Township helped our orphans again. The first time was when he donated beans to our orphans. This time he brought a basket full of sunflower oil and used clothes for the orphans. He is not a rich man; he is just a poor farmer man. But he has love and the heart to help the orphans from his farm. He said, "Because I helped the orphans once before, God multiplied my harvest of crops this year, so I want to help again." Next year he wants to help the orphans with some bags of rice from his paddy field. All our orphans pray for blessings on his farming.

Spiritual growth

Thank God all our orphans really grow in their relationship with God. They are confident that they are special to God and truly loved by Him. They have a strong desire to please God in their life. Every morning and evening, they are very excited to pray and praise God. They can memorize many Bible verses and sing songs. My wife Mrs. Rev. Thang leads them in singing and teaches them motion songs. And I teach them about the Christian life and how to improve our relationship with God daily.

Challenges with 2 ORphans

Among our 11 orphans, two of them have health challenges. One of them is Ms. Biak, who has a chronic TB disease. The other is Mr. Thla, who has mental challenges. We are praying for them and hope that God will grant them complete healing. The rest of the orphans are good and healthy by God's grace. We are always praying for their wholeness.

Thanks to PRivate Donors

We have been praying to God about our need for more donors. God moved the heart of my friend, Brother Myo, who is working in Dubai at the selling company of Rolex Watches. He promised to help us with the equivalent of $50 to cover the needs of the orphans. May God bless him more in his job.

We are thankful to Mrs. Adar from Melbourne who helps us with the equivalent of $72 per month to cover the water bill, electric bill, and house rent. We pray for her family so that she can continue helping the orphans.

We are also thankful to Mr. Simeon who works in Midland, Texas. He helps us with $50 or $100 a month, to help provide for the cook's salary. We pray that God will bless him in the days to come so he can continue to contribute to the Adonai orphans.
