Many Thanks from the Children in China

Pastor Doug,
It was my pleasure to become friends and work with Karen and Josh while they lived and served in China. The gave us 500 USD from your fellowship and explained the year of Jubilee. I was so amazed. After years in the church and now on the field, I've never of heard of a fellowship giving their people money to give away.
I just wanted to say thank you because of you we were blessed and our needs provided.....in order to help the orphans in China.
Sincerely, Pam in Henan

The Jubilee Helps Children in China

We were given the Jubilee money by a member of your church who knew we were going to China in fall of 2009 to teach English to university students in Henan Province. She challenged us to find someone to bless with this money during this past school year. Well, we have!
My friend Pam started an organization in 2006 called Swallow's Nest to provide care for about 25 special needs orphans in 3 apartments in downtown Zhengzhou. These children are waiting for surgeries and/or adoptive placement with a forever family. As a nurse, I have been able to assist her with infant assessments, wound dressing changes, and other concerns. Pam and her family have challenged us to care for the 'least of these'. This money will go to offset the cost of surgery and the ongoing costs of formula and diapers. They are truly God's hands and feet.
Their website is: www.swallowsnestzz.org
Amazing stuff! Thank you for this opportunity.
