New Day Learning Center

What an amazing blessing today has been. At 9am we were greeted in the lobby of our hotel by a driver that took us about one hour outside of Beijing to a large village. We arranged to go there to see our friend and previous adoption advocate, Carrie and her husband Jacob. They have lived in China now for almost a year and they are volunteers at the New Day Learning Center and Foster Home. This building complex started out a Christian ran factory that strove to put people above profit by treating workers fairly with good pay and good hours. As the business grew the owner wanted to give back to the community so they started a foster home for adoption eligible special need children. They also have classes teaching oral English for older students. New Day is funded by volunteers and helps Chinese orphans get needed surgeries so that can be placed with forever families.

Today, Carrie and Jacob, played host for us in their village, not only sharing about their ministry but also providing us with the opportunity to experience life in a village, the lunar market, and a great barbecue dinner. We are both so thankful for Carrie and Jacob''s gracious welcome and we truly enjoyed spending the day with them.
