Giving Asia Hope for the future

Grace Church sponsors three orphan homes: two in Battambang, Cambodia housing 50 children and a third home in Wiang Pa Pao, Thailand with 41 children.  We have rescued 91 children from human trafficking by sponsoring 3 rescue homes. God is great!

Senior Pastor Bob Fetterhoff visits our rescue homes to encourage the house directors and the rescued children who have been rescued from a life of poverty, disease and human trafficking.
“I have never felt love like I did from these children. I saw the faces of children who had lacked basic nutrition and medical treatment. I saw children and adults who live at a huge garbage dump in the capital of Phnom Penh searching for anything to eat or sell. And, I saw the difference Christ followers have made in the lives of children who have been rescued from squalid and hopeless conditions. After I visited in the spring, I decided to do more to raise awareness and help fund the construction of orphan homes in that part of the world,” said Fetterhoff.
