Today is the 42 anniversary of Bethany Home. It is a place founded in 1967 by Swedish missionaries to help special children with disabilities. From a humble beginning, it has now grown to a famous institution which is known both locally and internationally. It is indeed very heartened to see the dedication of the staff taking care of these special children. It is indeed great to know that these special children are not forgotten and left to be. It is good to see the hand of God at work touching people to work with these special children. I have been going to the home for many years now and most of the staff is still working there...truly dedicated people. I believe that dedicated persons like them have big hearts full of love...and this love can only be from God.
I was indeed very thrilled tonight a few of the children came and greeted me. They still remember me...and they can tell me stories and even crack a few jokes.
My friends came from Ipoh to join in the celebration too. Yes, it was a time of reunion too for them too. They too were supportors of Bethany Home while they were residing in Teluk Intan. Now they still support the home with their prayers and donations in cash and kinds.
We also took time to remember Dr. Victor who was for many years provided medical assistance to the children of the home. He left us suddenly in May, and now the good Lord has provided another doctor to care for the children. Certainly, there is no shortage of volunteer for the work in Bethany Home.....the home which was named after Bethany in Israel......the place which i had the opportunity to visit in 2005.....a beautiful place.
