Yesterday was the last day at the Silver Lining Family Village.
My heart was filled with mixed emotions as we prepared to leave these 170 lovely and lively children. Over the past few days, I’ve had the privilege of serving alongside 9 brothers and sisters from 3 different churches at the “Silver Lining Family Village” and we’ve experienced God’s grace together—it’s been nothing short of abundant blessings and deep gratitude. 🙏

These past few days, we lived with the children—worshiping God together, praying together, singing hymns, sharing testimonies, learning from one another, caring for each other, and lifting one another up in prayer. Through it all, we were able to personally experience the grace and loving kindness of God. I deeply felt His power and was profoundly aware of the Holy Spirit’s presence with us at all times. It was such a blessing, so heartwarming, that it truly felt like “heaven on earth.”

Once again, I thank God. At Silver Lining Family Village, for every 10 children, there is a “mother” who takes care of their daily needs. They have an abundant supply of food every day, warm bedding, clean bathrooms, and spacious areas for rest and play. Seeing how each child looks after one another and plays together fills my heart with infinite gratitude to God.

Although behind each of these 170 children lies a painful past and a unique story of grace, what I saw at “Cloud Home” was a love story just beginning. God is using this place to give these children a peaceful and happy home. I saw how they live each day in the love of God. Although their bodies may be smaller than other children’s, their love for God, their faith in Him, and their commitment are even greater than that of many grown adults…

Now I finally understand what Jesus meant in Mark 10:14–15:
“When Jesus saw this, He was indignant. He said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.’”

Tomorrow, I will be leaving—but I have already decided in my heart that I will return to visit them and experience this unique love again. Now I pray that God will continue to watch over “Silver Lining Family Village” grant them peace, fill them with joy, and help them grow in health. I thank God for providing such a beautiful place for these children to live and thrive. This was my first time joining Silver Lining Missions, but it certainly will not be my last. I hope to see the children at “Silver Lining Family Village” again very soon.
May all glory be to our Father. Amen.

On our way to the airport after finishing our final day of ministry in Mandalay, we saw this cloud in the sky—it felt as though God was saying to us, “Peace be with you.” Thank you, Lord, for Your care. You are worthy to be praised. All glory belongs to You… Hallelujah.

昨天是雲彩行動的最後一天，心情忐忑，因為將要離開這羣可愛活潑的小孩(170位），在這幾天能夠一起和來至九位不同教會的弟兄姊妹來到「雲彩家園」一起事奉和經歷神的恩典，真是萬福感恩

這幾天我們和這些小孩一起生活，一起敬拜神，一起祈禱，一起唱詩歌，互相分享見證，互相學習，互相愛護，互相祈禱，能夠親身體驗到神的恩典在其中有又有慈愛，深深感受到神的大能，也強烈感覺到聖靈祂是與我們處處同在，這是何等的祝福和窩心，使人感覺這裏就是「地上的天堂」。

再次的感謝神，在「雲彩家園」中的孩子，每10位兒童就有一個「媽媽」照顧他們的起居飲食，他們每天都有充足的食物供應，溫暖的被鋪，清潔的洗手間和有寬敞休息和給他們遊戲的地方。看見每個小孩都互相照應，彼此玩耍，心中有着無數無限的感謝神。

雖然這170個小孩的背後忍藏着170個不愉快的經歷和感恩故事，但，在「雲彩家園」我看見一個愛的故事在這裡開始……神藉着這裏要這些小孩得到一個平安和幸福的家，我看到他們每天都活着神的愛中，雖然這些小孩的身體比其他人細小，但，我看出，他們對神的愛，對神的信心和決心都比我們一個正常大人還大呢⋯⋯

現在我終於明白，耶穌在馬可福音 10:14,15說的話，耶穌看見就惱怒，對門徒說：「讓小孩子到我這裡來，不要禁止他們，因為在神國的正是這樣的人。…」

明天要就要離開了，我心中已決定會再來探他們和享受這裏不一樣的愛。現在，求神繼續保守「雲彩家園」，賜給他們平安，給他們喜樂，給他們健康成長，感謝神給這班孩子有一個這麼好的地方生活和成長。這是我第一次參加查雲彩行動，但一定不會是我最後一次，希望好快再能夠同雲彩家園的小孩子見面。

願一切榮耀歸給我們的父，亞們。

當我們完成了在Mandalay 最後一天的事奉，在去機場回家途中，我們遇見這片雲彩，就好像神對我們說「平安」…感謝神的眷顧，祂是應當稱頌的…一切榮耀都歸給祂…..哈利路亞🙏🙏☺️🥰
