After 5 years of praying to have our own school, we
ask you to join us in thanking God for answering our
prayers. I am excited to share with you that God has
made our dream to build our own school possible
through the kindness and generosity of our dear
friends, the Lee family, from the Chicago area. Our
vision for Lee Faith School is that it will be a testimony
of God's faithfulness to our children and that we may
reach out to the community around us. We are
committed to providing excellent education with
Christian values in order to equip and empower our
students' lives and the lives of those they will touch.
We hope to complete school construction this year
and welcome our first batch of students in Spring
2008.

Faith Home, Manipur has been an amazing journey.
When we welcomed the orphans to Faith Home in
2000, I didn't know that, along with the children, God
would also be preparing me on this journey of Faith. I
didn't think that I too would grow along with the
children, emotionally and spiritually. As the children
faced different and difficult challenges along the way, I
too had to face my own trials and challenges. I have
seen God's wonderful power in the children's lives.
They have learned to forgive, love, and hope. Along
with them, I also have learned to walk closer with
God. When I reached the lowest point in my life, I
sought Him just like the children did. I learned to trust
Him when things ahead seemed hopeless and to
love Him and those dear to me, above all else. I
thought that God was going to use me to touch the
children's lives, instead He used the children to
change my life.

Today, I praise God for the 72 children and 7 staff at
Faith Home, Manipur.
Our youngest children who were barely 3-4 years old
are now studying in 4th grade. Our oldest girl,
Nemkim, is now doing her B.A. Our second oldest girl
Maman is doing her B.Th. We have 6 boys and 2 girls
in 11th grade and these days we have 2 girls and 5
boys writing their 10th grade exams. The rest are in
between and making tremendous progress.
We have 2 boys who have just been accepted to the
Army. We are very happy for them.

In His Love,
Khumi Massey
