Children's Hunger Fund sent a team here last week to deliver food to ZOE Children's Homes and to the hill tribes, where many of the orphans are from. They also did a pastoral training for the hill tribe pastors. Our senior pastor Nam from IBC, our sending church, was originally supposed to be on this team to do the trainings, but he couldn't make it out this time due to coming down with pneumonia right before their departure. =( We're sad that we couldn't see him on this visit, but thankful that he is recovering at home, as this would've been a rough trip for him with the long plane ride and poor air quality at this time of year here in Chiang Mai. (We're currently in transition from cold to hot season, which is also the season when farmers being to slash and burn their agriculture. Click on the link to read more about what that is.)
It's through CHF that our family first heard about ZOE and were able to make our first visit to ZOE with them in November 2010. CHF has a wonderful relationship with ZOE, providing the food and supplies that ZOE distributes to the local hill tribe communities through the hill tribe pastors. Once David starts working full time in a few months, one of his responsibilities will be to work with some of these local pastors.
Here's CHF's photo album from their time here. So thankful for wonderful organizations like CHF that meet the physical and spiritual needs of children and their families.
