Swallow's Nest Project

Over the past several years we have developed good relationships
with several government operated orphanages in North-Central China. From this we
started ‘Swallow’s Nest Phase One’ over a year ago to provide transitional foster
care of Chinese orphans until their international adoptions were completed and they
were turned over to their new families from English speaking countries. This period
of foster care provided the child with basic English language acquisition and a
loving Christian home where their spiritual, physical, social, and emotional needs
are met. It is so amazing to watch children transition from institutional life to
family life. We truly love this work.

Nest One'

‘Swallow’s Nest Phase Two’ is an expansion of this theme with the
support and staff provided by partnership with the Brothers and Sisters in our area.
The location of this home will be a bit more discreet or “just under the surface”
as we say. This home will be staffed 24/7 by fellow Brothers and Sisters caring
for at-risk orphans who need more attention to their medical, nutritional and emotional
needs than can be met at a traditional government orphanage. Prayer, good food,
and a loving Christian environment will make a big difference in the life of these
beautiful children. We thank you for your prayer and support of our children.

Swallow’s Nest is operated by special project funds raised on a monthly
basis; we appreciate your continued support. We operate several other project accounts
so be sure to specify which fund you wish to support.
Swallow’s Nest Project: All funding goes to the operation of our home for
children.
Lulu Surgery Fund: Funding originally went to cover the cost of Lulu’s Spina-Bifida
surgery but now is used to provide major medical and surgery cost for all our foster
children in need. Our next surgery need is for six month old XiaoJun’s heart surgery
which will be done in Hangzhou when he is between 8 and 12 months old.
Leader Support Project: Provides needed funds to allow new like-minded leaders
to go directly into their new posts without having to work full-time in a secular
job. (Full time work in China is much more demanding in all areas of one’s life
than full time work in other countries.) We hope to provide short-term support for
many nationals to help them become established and grounded in dad’s work after
they graduate from UGC schools. After a leader is established and can meet his monthly
needs then support would go to another new leader. New leaders are a key to dad’s
expanding work in our area.
“We hope that the opening
of Swallow’s Nest will be just the beginning of many nests being established
over the years to come. Thank you for your help.”
