Happy Home... truly!

We spent our first full day in Chiang Rai at Christian Happy Home, an amazing ministry started by Rose Martinez over 30 years ago. ( Fun fact: Rose, pictured below at left, next to Tyree, came to faith in Christ just outside of Eugene in the early '70's ... "Far out!")

The Chiang Rai Happy Home is one of five orphanages in Thailand and one in Poipet, Cambodia operated by Rose and the Mercy Ministry Foundation. She has a great team of wonderful emerging leaders, most of whom were young children who grew up in one of MMF's Happy Homes. (Including Kallaya, shown here next to Dr Mike (Lacey)

 We were grateful to be able to serve the kids from Toeng and Chiang Saen homes.  (Both are led by Happy Home alumni who each have marvelous stories of miraculous redemption!)

Our day of service wrapped up with a "thank you BBQ" for our dental trainers. 

We are humbled by the prayers and support of so many of you who have offered support and encouragement prior to our trip and during our time of ministry here in South East Asia! Lots of praises as we have been so blessed to share God's love with so many great kids and staff at these amazing homes and schools throughout our trip!

Tomorrow, we'll finish serving the Chiang Rai HH kids and provide a dental hygiene clinic for "Eden Home" (a new site for us) about 30 minutes away.

Thanks for your prayers! (Posted by Dave)
