Hear Their Stories

Dear Believers in Baptist Children's Home,                                                    9/21/2010

   Firstly I greet all of you in the name of Jesus Christ.  I am writing this letter to place on record my deep sense of gratitude for the very timely and generous support given by you during my hour of need.

   I am Hosea.  In 2007, by your help, I completed the bachelor degree in Medical Laboratory Technology from the University of Medical Technology Mandalay, Myanmar.  As it took four years to complete this course, I received your special support during these years starting in 2004 to 2007.  I especially appreciate and value your kindness which made a great difference and appeared as a small ray of light in a dark tunnel in my life.  I also praise the Lord for you are a blessing channel for me.

   Since 2008, I have been starting my career as a medical laboratory technologist at MSF Holland, one of humanitarian organizations in Yangon, Myanmar.  Now I am involving in His service as far as I can.  I have been trying to meet the need of a student in Biblical School of Technology too.  It is my prayer that to be able to meet the need of others and to bear a good fruit of the seed which you have sown.  I want to be a faithful servant of the Lord.

   Thank you once again for your kindness which makes me to be able to stand on my own feet and your good deeds to the little ones.  God will reward you for all of these things.  I will keep praying for you.  May God bless you all.

Yours in His love,

Hosea

Dear Baptist Children Home,                                                        9/29/10

I would like to express my heartfelt thankfulness to you for your ministry.

My name is Hosea M.  I was brought up in a very poor family, but a very good Christian family.  Due to poverty, I was not able to attend high school.  I prayed to God with tears, and somehow Timothy found me and took care of me for my high school.  By God’s grace, I passed my high school with good grades and was admitted at University of Dental Medicine, but there was no way for me to join, no money and no food.  Child care continued to support me for the university.  I attended the Dental Medicine University for six years because of the child care ministry.  I graduated this year in June.  I am now working at dental clinic and I am now able to take care my two sisters.

Last week, Timothy told me that I was supported by you (Baptist Children Home) and he asked me to write a thank you letter.  After finishing my Dental University degree, Timothy told me that I was supported by you.  How thankful I am.  I always give thanks to God for my sponsors.  I can tell you your labor is not in vain.  Because of you and the child care ministry, I am now able to support my two sisters and I plan to support child care ministry here.  If you did not support me, I would not be able to attend even high school.  I am a born again young man and I will serve my Lord as much as I can through my dental work.  I could not find English words to express my thankfulness to you.  May the Lord continue to bless BCH.

Mr. Hosea M.

The best tribute I can give to BCH is that they made home as normal as possible.

BCH prepared me for being a wife and mother.
 
 Mike
 I moved to the Baptist Children's Home in 1994 when I was 14 years old.

I came from a broken home with a single mother who had a drug habit, among many other problems.

Aside from her circumstances, I was a wreck myself, starving for a true, biblical, God - pleasing Christian Home.

 Angie
 I was born five months after the death of my father. When I was nine, I went to live at BCH with my six siblings.

Our mom could no longer take care of us.

Saju
 I was born in a Hindu home in the state of Kerala.  I am the youngest of three boys.

My father was an alcoholic who beat my mother.  Once he beat her mercilessly.

Next day, my mother went to her parents with me. I was just seven months old at that time.

I thank BCH for taking seven kids into care in the 70's. I do not know where I would be today if it were not for BCH.

What a great ministry!
