52. Children's Home – Aranyaprathet (Cambodia)

In 2000, the Lord gave the staff at Mercy Ministries Foundation a burden for the people of Cambodia and in 2001 Mercy Ministries became a registered foundation with the Cambodian government. The physical and spiritual needs of the Khmer people is exceedingly great. Their goal is to open a children's home with the same vision for the Khmer children as they have for their homes in Thailand. Currently, many of the children are orphaned or have parents who are unable to care for them due to physical injuries and poverty. The desire is to provide a loving home environment where children are nurtured and brought up in the ways of the Lord so that they may go on to share the grace, mercy, and love of our Lord Jesus Christ with their own people, and even to serve the Lord in other lands. Along with our vision for this children's home the Lord has directed them to open a preschool / feeding program for children 4-8 years old. The preschool is located in an urban slum and gives many children an opportunity to receive an education, good nutrition through the feeding program, and a chance to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.
