Every Child Has A Story

My story currently intertwines with fifty other stories concealed behind the eyes of Asian girls. Although the English is limited to communicate their stories, the bits and pieces revealed are like treasured jewels. Their stories may even have common themes, but each one is unique. Since my tongue is fluent in English, I would like to give an insight to a few of their stories.

 One girl in particular, Noy*, had a conversation with me shortly after she returned from her village. The blooming 18 year old told me, "My back hurts a lot. I had to plant corn." Can you imagine? A young woman with a tall and slender frame toiling in fields on a mountainside for hours. This would be a common scene to encounter among hill tribe families. With minimal resources and slim chances of receiving an education, most families work together in corn or rice fields for a living. Looking at the scene inside Noy's home does not improve. Her father favors a bottle of alcohol while her mother suffers with arthritis. 

As for Lyn*, she thrives in her studies at school, and she has a dream to attend a university to improve her English skills. Lyn's father implanted and encouraged this dream at a young age. He understood that vast opportunities would be available to his daughter if she learned English. While making her dream a reality, her father passed away in an accident and left his wife struggling to support three children. 


Ali* has a similar story to Lyn's in the fact that she lost a parent. The difference isthat Ali's mother did not pass away. She ran away. A child should remember a loving and caring mother but instead Ali will remember going with her father in search of her mother. They managed to find her...with another man. Ali's father is now remarried, but living with a step parent increased Ali's risks of being neglected and sold while her father was constantly at work.

 Here is where God gets the glory. Noy happened to be related to a house parent in the first Rnhu Refuge home. She was brought to the home and became one of the original, twelve girls. These girls were rescued from spending a life time working in fields or from being sold into illegal employment. Noy is about to complete high school and has a new avenue to earn a living. She is planning to continue her education at a vocational school to study about local transportation.

  Lyn has received educational support from Rnhu for the past five years, and her dreams to study English are becoming a reality. Perhaps one day, she will be found serving her community as an English teacher. Ali is now receiving love and care in the Refuge Home as she enters her teenage years. She is also hearing about the Agape love extended to her by a Heavenly Father. May she come to have a special relationship with her Savior.

 In my "coffee shop" reading, I also came across a quote by Beth Moore. She said, "You cannot amputate your history from your destiny." God can redeem past events to shape futures, and He is doing so through Rnhu. I can testify to that.
