• In Myanmar: Caring for orphans
and abandoned children

Shortly after moving to Myanmar, Pastor Cha and his wife Susan came across four young orphans who roamed from house to house looking for work feeding pigs or caring for cows. They took the orphans into their home, shared what little they had with them and began paying for their schooling.

From these four children, the Grace Haven ministry has grown to include eight orphanages that care for 519 of children. "This is a relatively small number compared to the 70,000 orphans in Myanmar," says Pastor Cha. "But one thing is sure: every child we adopt decreases the number by one."
