" Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone, but miraculously, still my own."
Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.
Isaiah 43:5

Hello. I hope you’re doing well. I pray that you are enjoying God’s blessings in your life and I hope that you are able to see the fulfillment of His promises this spring and summer. I’m doing well although I’m rather tired right now. I do feel an increase in energy and excitement for some reason this spring and I’ve enjoyed being in China and doing what I’m doing more than I have in a long time. Thank you for your prayers. I believe they have given me great strength through these months

New Day Healing Home

The New Day Healing Home is envisioned to be an extension of the New Day Foster Home, and thus would share the same mission statement: “To alleviate the pain and suffering of Chinese orphans born with physical handicaps; providing for their every physical, mental and spiritual need; to give them a future and a hope and their very own loving family.”

The distinctive of the New Day Healing Home will be to facilitate medical/surgical intervention and provide a temporary home for special needs orphans coming to Beijing from regions of China where quality medical care is not available.

Last year, we were asked to consider providing temporary care for orphans from Qinghai province in need of heart surgery. Because of the altitude in Qinghai, these children will require an extended recovery time in Beijing before returning to their home orphanage. Since that time, we have received other requests to provide temporary care for orphaned children requiring heart or other surgery in Beijing, many of which we have had to turn away due to our limited capacity.

Two apartments in the Van Palace Apartment Complex, located in downtown Beijing, have been donated for our use for the next ten years. These two apartments will give us additional bed space we need to house children requiring surgery and temporary care in Beijing. Each apartment will enable us to house eight to ten children for post-op recovery. The proximity to the Beijing hospitals will be a significant benefit since our current facility is located below the 6th ring road and over a one-hour drive from the hospitals.

An existing member of the New Day Foster Home management staff will manage both the start-up and daily operation. We also envision using our existing and most experienced nannies on a rotating basis as primary caregivers since they are already trained in caring for special needs children.

We are very excited about this concept and the ability this gives us to help more children. To read more about the Healing Home please click here.
