50. Border
Orphanage - Kengtung (Myanmar)
The Kengtung orphanage is a place that seeks to give
disadvantaged children opportunities for a better life. The vision and
hope is that each child can grow up having realized their potential and
become a productive and successful member of society. The kids that are
at the orphanage range in age from between 3-16 years old. There is also
a day care that takes in young children who range in age between 1-4
years old. However, not all the kids come from the same area – some come
from the Myanmar border areas and some come from the area in and around
Kengtung. Many of these kids are here because their family can not give
them a proper education, their parents may have died or they may have
come from an unhealthy family situation. The orphanage seeks to provide
these kids a safe place with an opportunity to receive the Word of God
in their life! Your team will have many opportunities for ministry such
as visiting the surrounding communities, teaching English, sharing your
personal story of God’s goodness and faithfulness – and of course,
sharing the Good News with those who have yet to hear!
FYI - This particular location is a sister ministry
of Ministry Opportunity #54.
