Love for Children


Let me introduce you to some pretty neat people. Sam and Mary Carpenter live in Wedowee,Alabama, but have taken responsibility for the care of twelve orphans. They built a home in the village of Tum Nuk Tom for these children who are under the supervision of Kimson and his wife, Sokha. They have a vegetable garden, raise pigs, have English lessons for the many village children, and are the church home to a congregation of Christians. Kimson has been a dependable steward to care for this wonderful work. Sam and Mary wanted to give to a work that directly involved underprivileged children. They came to Cambodia and the Lord blessed their decision to proceed with this orphanage. In the first picture, Sam and Mary are standing behind Sarah Turner, who is Sam's sister. While here in Phnom Penh to check on the children, they are teaching in the English school at PIP. The second picture is of the children, which includes Kimson and Sokha's two children, on a day when they came to town. Once again, Rick and I have been blessed to meet and be around loving people who are living the Great Commission.

my g'g'grandfather left clay county, wedowee, alabama to move to clay county, mississippi in the late 19th century to raise his family. later my brother and I moved our families [3 generations later] to that same area to begin raising our families. There are some really great blueberry farms in that neck of the woods, too! regards, Robert Johnson
