The Great Wall of China


We were finally able to go visit The Great Wall. The kids have been asking since the first week we arrived in China. We had a great time! We took a cable car to the top and then hiked the wall for awhile and then took a big slide back down to the bottom. (this was the kids favorite part)









Please pray as we are still working out the details to get surgeries for 3 children at PHF with brachial plexus palsy (paralyzed arm). The children's names are Cole, Sadie, and Cadence. We just had a doctor from the US volunteer to come over in February to perform their surgeries as there are no doctors in China who are able to do it. Praise the Lord for Dr. Nath's (from Texas) willingness to do this. Please continue to pray that all the details will be worked out including finding a hospital in Beijing that is inexpensive enough to use.


.
Please continue to pray for two children at PHF named Adrian and Maggie who arrived a few weeks ago with severe heart conditions. Please pray that the finances can be raised quickly to help get these children the heart surgeries they need to live a long and healthy life.

Thank you for your prayers and support,
John, Desiray,
Alyson and Austin Christen

Christen Family,

Thank you for sharing your blog with us. What great pictures and unbelievable experiences. Alyson and Austin will never forget living in China. The pictures of The Great Wall were just amazing. I can only imagine what it looked like in person. Praying for your family and all of the precious children in your care. Take care and God Bless!
