Chem MERCY Orphanage Update – March 4th

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.  – James 1:27

Greetings from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, The Land of Wonder.

The bathroom project is nearing completion, we continued our
monthly custom of celebrating birthdays as family, big brother Heng is getting
married, and one of the teenagers is close to the waters of baptism!  

To brighten up the bathroom for the kids each room has a colorful accent wall. 
After a very spirited relay race (10 to a team) we celebrated the birthdays of Srey Lay and Sokly Saturday night. 
The big brothers had fun at the birthday celebration!!

We are particularly proud of the older boys – “the big brothers” – who warded off an intruder who entered by jumping the gate of the orphanage at 2:00 Wednesday morning!!  

Building wonderful family memories at the CSW-MERCY Orphanage.

Denise and I had the opportunity to share our story over dinner with big brother Heng and his fiancé, Solika, before they traveled to the province to prepare for their wedding.

Thank you for your continued prays. We are praying for you
as well. 

Much love, 

Nick and Denise
