Thank you so much for your prayers for CongCong. In the last update, he was waiting for clearance from the doctor to leave the hospital for a short time and enjoy the "Make A Wish" type activities that our friend Aaron planned. The Father answered our pr@yers! Exchanging a hospital bed for rest in a beautiful hotel, CongCong was able to enjoy cooking lessons with the hotel chef, swimming, a party with some friends and even homemade cookies.
In planning, Aaron had the goal to make these days the best ones in CongCong's life. The smiles in the pictures say it all!
So after this amazing adventure, CongCong is now back at the hospital in Xi'an stronger and more encouraged in the Father's abundant love. Aaron has returned to his home in Southern China and has shared an update of CongCong's needs.
1. Pr@yer
2. Encouragement: He needs people to continue to send him letters of encouragement and visit him face to face if they live in the Xian area or travel through.
3. Bone Marrow Transplant: They are currently looking for a match and the expense is a lot...however the orphanage might take care of this...please pr@y.
4. Daily living expenses: Since CongCong is unable to work and the orphanage doesn't help him with this... this is a big need. A fellowship in China has given funds which will provide for the months of July, August, September...but after that there is nothing. I think it would be good if we can get some monthly sponsors to help with his expenses...1000 RMB a month (160 USD) which covers food, transportation, etc. In my mind, what would be cool is if a fellowship or an individual sponsors CongCong for a month, and during that month they could commit to pr@ying for him.
