China: Day 5

Today our schedule included visiting an orphanage, the Forbidden City and an acrobat show.

The kids at the orphanage were great. This is a place that takes kids with major health issue and then gets them the medical help they need and then works to get them adopted into a home. These kids would not live very long in a regular orphanage, but thanks to these people, they have a chance for a normal healthy life. The little guy on the right has had surgery on his back and he moves along pretty quickly with that walker.

From here we headed to the Forbidden City and then took in the acrobat show. Although this trip was mostly informational, my prayer is that God will use these expereinces in the teams lives to go back home and make a difference in missions in our local community. We have learned a lot about prayer and spiritual warfare and have seen the needs up close and personal. Anytime we step out of our normal comfort zone and expereince someone else's world we are changed. The next step is to do something with that change that will impact the world around us.
