Whatever you did for the least of My brothers and sisters, you did for Me (Jesus)

Today we saw true love in action.  A couple who have given up their comfortable lifestyle to save the lives of Vietnamese kids, but not only that, to raise them as their own when necessary. In the few years they have been there, they have probably worked with over 200 young teenage mums. Can you imagine being able to say that you have probably saved 200 lives??

I can not give many details as the work needs to remain under the radar, but today I visited two of the twelve centers they have established with help from local churches. (not financial .. the church are too poor)

Giving the Center a guitar for the kids
I could only fit about 4 on my lap at once :-)


Singing to us  ... soooooo beautiful
I went into their house and literally had 4 or 5 little darlings all over me, laughing and bouncing around ... such joy!  This couple who are quite a bit older than me at this time have seven pre school children in their immediate care, ranging from about one year to 5 years,  and the one shelter I went to had over 20 kids of school age. They are really orphanages in many ways, cared for, fed, educated, loved.

What can I say? They are showing God's love at grass roots level, literally saving young lives and taking on the responsibility for their care.

We then visited the next shelter which had babies and young pregnant mums, again, in many cases abandoned by their families because they would not abort.  Angry, Sad, Confused, Trying to understand how families can do this to their own. But we don't have  to work it all out, we just have to love regardless.

Here were some pictures that I am allowed to put up.
