Prayer and Praise November 2023

Praying With Thanksgiving Thank you for praying for BCH ministry and all our children. Here are some requests for prayer which include requests and praises, even in the same request. USA Our Homes of Compassion is ministering to local families who need help with caring for their children during a crisis. One of our volunteer care families had been on a break while the care mom studied for her real estate license. The day she passed her licensure exam we needed help for a 2-month-old little girl. The family was ready to help again! When we checked in with them yesterday, they said they are in “Baby Bliss.” God’s timing is always perfect! We are so thankful for our care families. Please pray for the children’s mother as she stabilizes the home environment.  India Please continue to pray for the war in NE India to end. Our group homes in that area have remained safe, by God’s grace. Many children from that area are now war refugees. Please pray as we explore how BCH can assist in partnership with this incredible need.    Zambia  Granny Jeni has been having some health issues. We are transitioning the children into a home where a different family member will care for them. We are in the process of building them a new home which will allow for better family living. Jeni is pleased with this change. She realizes that she needs assistance and more rest.  Great progress is being made on the site of the new home for the children in Zambia.

Myanmar The other night I was on a video call with the GEM family. It was 6:00 am there. Children were spread out all throughout the home while studying for their school exams. The children were quiet and respectful of each other as they were concentrating. I did notice, however, that the children were studying their books while sitting on the floor. I asked Pau Gin if they needed some plastic chairs. His face brightened as he said that would be such a blessing. I will list that need for the home and some others.    Needs for GEM Home, Myanmar: 62 plastic chairs. Each chair is $8  Voltage Stabilizer (urgent need) Cost is $1,250  Ping pong table. Allows for indoor fun during bad weather $450    We are so grateful for your prayer, partnership, and love. We cannot help any of these children without your partnership. We are grateful for you.
