I went out today and took this picture of the land next door to the church. As I have mentioned, the Lord has put the burden on our hearts to enlarge our ministry to the orphans and old folks. There are hundreds of thousands of hopeless orphans all around this country. The AIDS crisis here is killing so many parents and leaving behind so many orphans. We are taking in five more orphans next Tuesday, all from the same family. The mother and father are dying from AIDS-related diseases. Furthermore, so many are dying because of AIDS, that the land is filling up with elderly widows with no one to take care of them. If you could see the hopelessness we see every single day, it would break your heart.
We want to buy this land to house dozens of orphans and widows. We are calling it "Home of New Hope Cambodia." The price for the land is $12,000. We need to raise all of this as soon as possible. It is a good price. Once the land is purchased, we will begin building the Home of New Hope. Our Cambodian brothers and sisters are excited about this. Would you pray about helping us to get this land? We are praying that God will raise up these funds faster than we could ever ask or think.
