Vision Team-Vietnam and Cambodia

August 26-September 7, 2009

In late August/early September, a team from the US worked in in an orphanage in Vietnam and a school in Cambodia.

Kathy Alexander, coordinator of Forever Families Adoption Ministry/Orphan Care at Ohio's Fairfield Christian Church, shared some thoughts about her experience in Southeast Asia. Kathy said, "There's nothing like a field trip to really provide a lesson to learn! Spending time in Vietnam with the Orphan Voice staff and participating in several opportunities there was definately a field trip that confirmed what I've known for some time, but now I not only know it...I really know it! I am forever changed because of this trip! I appreciate connecting with an organization that has a heart for the orphan and the poor. I appreciate that they are a trusted group of people who seek the heart of God in all that they do. I appreciate that I have had the opportunity to see firsthand what God is doing in the lives of people in Vietnam through Orphan Voice. People are getting food. People are getting clothes. People are getting medical care. People are getting an education. More importantly, people are getting a glimpse of the love and mercy that comes from a loving Father. A sure sign of a successful field trip is when the person that went on the trip not only wants to go back but wants to take other folks along so they can experience a life-changing lesson. Vietnam, I'll be back!"
