We apologize for the recent lack of updates. China has recently blocked Blogger making it a bit difficult to post.
Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts in the recent weeks. The situation continues to change here in Luoyang and we are still not fully aware of the extent of the changes. Though we cannot say much, we are happy to say that things are looking better than initially expected and continue to see God working through all this.
Thank you again for your prayers and support!

Prayer and Guidance
This past week while we were in Xian there were some changes made at the orphanage that will drastically change the lives of many of the kids we have been working with.We cant say much about the situation right now, but are asking all of our friends who pray to lift up these children, to ask God to keep his loving hand over them in this time.
Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, and support.

May Holiday
God is pretty amazing.
A few weeks ago our friends Amanda, Lisa, and Zaynab were visiting Luoyang. Amanda runs a foster home for children with special needs in Xian called Starfish. During their trip to Luoyang, she received a phone call from the government orphanage saying that they had 8 babies they would like her to take in. She desperately wanted to but didnt have the funds to make it happen. But, like always...God is amazing. Zaynab made a few phone calls and within a day they had the necessary funds to take on the 8 babies at Starfish.
Amanda immediately began planning and decided to rent another apartment to accomodate the babies. That's where we come in....
The apartment needed some fixing up and we had a few days to spare. So, Michael, Me, Chrissy, Julee, and our two great friends Tim and Melissa Bueckers and their awesome little boy Seth decided to go to Xian and help out.
We had an amazing week painting, singing, talking, eating (alot), and playing with the kids. With the help of Amanda and Tracy, a volunteer at Starfish, the apartment came together wonderfully.
As icing on the cake, Amanda graciously invited us to help pick up the babies at the orphanage. Words cannot explain the feeling of picking up a child and knowing that its life with be forever changed.
It was an amazing week, full of "love, life, and laugher" as Amanda would say. Thank you to everyone involved!
