Today was a special day, as we were able to visit New Day Foster Home outside Beijing. Karen and Byron Brenneman were gracious hosts and run an incredible facility for special needs orphans. AML donated baby pillows (thanks to Elizabeth Canter!), clothes, and other needed items for New Day. AML has provided surgeries, playground equipment, and nutritional programs for New Day as part of our mission to be the hands and feet of Jesus to these orphans.
Our favorite part of the trip was working with the children in the pre-school and the nursery and celebrating Debbie's birthday with everyone! Brittany, Jenny, Mollie, Debbie, and Jeff had so much fun making the children smile and learning about each child's medical situation. Hopefully, all of them will be adopted to loving forever families. Each of them is a gift from God and deserves all of the love and care possible -- and that is just what they receive at New Day!
Also shown is Seth, who recently received heart surgery from AML funding. He is doing very well and will hopefully be put up for adoption soon. The cute little girl with the blonde hair and the sunglasses is Bella, an albino who is going to be adopted soon. It was hard to leave the children as you become attached to them in a very short period of time!!!
