Christian Children's Home / Burma ...

Remember has recently undertaken support of the Christian Children's Home, an orphanage housing approximately 50 orphans. Many of these children have heartbreaking stories of their fathers who were pastors or church leaders being brutally killed for their faith.

Despite the political climate in Burma, the orphanage operates with full government permission and the work of God is clearly being accomplished through Pastor Paul and a couple who live at the simple facility.

The children are in seemingly good physical condition. They are bright, cheerful, and well disciplined. However, they have no medical care, and a few children have serious medical needs. The local hospital has no medication and no Doctor on staff. Also, the orphanage facilities are in need of improvements and expansion. Most of all, we want the children in the Christian Children's Home to know that they are loved and to see them grow in the nuture and admonition of the Lord.

Remember believes that we have been presented an opportunity to sow into a work that will continue to bear fruit for years to come.

Remember has identified specific needs of the Christian Children's Home and also hopes to aid Pastor Paul in starting additional orphanages in other areas heavily affected by persecution. We hope to collect items to take to Burma as well as raise money to purchase some of the needed items in country:

• Children's shoes (flip flops) and clothes
• Rain coats/umbrellas for the children
• Small gifts, toys, and hygiene items
• Medical supplies and multivitamins
• Purchase and installation of a water purification system
• Purchase of adjoining field and farm animals for food and vocational training for the children
• Musical instruments
• Construction supplies to build a kitchen in the current facility

All monies designated for the Christian Children's Home will go 100% to meeting the needs of the Home.

Remember is planning and preparing for an in-country ministry at the children's home during the week of June 19th-29th, 2010. Our goal is to take a team of approximately 12 people to do construction and repair on the existing kitchen and adjoining buildings, install a water purification system, and build some fences for the future procurement of livestock. Additionally, we will conduct a medical clinic for the children of both orphanages as well as the families of Pastor Paul's church.
