We vistited twelve orphanages and one orphanage for deaf children during the Chistmas time. About 1000 children watched a Christmas drama and received presents and Christian literature with gospels. Our ministry for orphans continued in 2006. Currenly we started a Sunday school in one of the orphanages. Children continue to come to my home. And we pray that these children could commit their lives to God and become His children.
