New Day Creation Foster Home/Philip Hayden Foster Home

Today was an incredible day as we visited two phenomenal Foster Homes outside of Beijing run by Christian American families. First we started our day at New Day Creation, where we met Karen and Byron Brenneman, founders of New Day. What wonderful people! They have around twenty or so children all with special needs - many with life threatening heart conditions. They also run a preschool where the older children learn English among other things. All the children were happy and received a lot of attention from the nannies and staff of New Day. They have approximately two nannies for every three babies which rotate every other day. There are so many incredible stories of how God has worked in the lives of these children and those that take care of them, too many to tell now. Just know that God works in wonderful miraculous ways! We spent about four hours there and were able to meet all of the children that live in the home including the three that A Mothers Love has sponsored for surgery (Mica, Kimberly and Brett). Above is one of the pictures we took visiting Kimberly with her new foster parents.

We then took a ride over to Philip Hayden in Langfang village. We visited the various houses on property where the children live and play and drove over to their new facility called Good Shepard's Village. This new place consists of four new building/Dorms for the children and a beautiful new play area. They also have a Wall of Faith commemorating those who donated funds to build the village. The amazing thing about this location is that the Chinese Government donated the land to Philip Hayden to construct their new facility.

We had a great time with all of the children. They all loved the extra attention and especially our cameras.
