CF&PM has already rescued seven children that are now living in the boys and girls homes.  The first five children are pictured here. 

Each of them have a unique story that begins with desperation and hopelessness.  Some of them were living in Thai prisons.  Others were abandoned or left with relatives that could not take care of them or did not want them.  All of them have mothers and/or fathers  sentenced to long terms in prison with little hope of ever getting released before their children are adults.

But, because of Child, Family & Prison Ministries, all of these children live in loving family-based homes that provide food, shelter, clothing a good education and most importantly, the love of Jesus Christ.  Each of the children get to maintain the bond with their mothers and fathers through regular visits to the prison.

As you can see from this picture, they now have smiles and a playful spirit that every child on earth deserves.  Most importantly, they now have hope.  Check out the individual bio's of each of the kids below.

Bing - Age 15

Bing was the first child rescued by CFPM.  Bing loves school, he is an excellent artist and loves to play soccer.  Bing also loves to go fishing and watch movies. Bing does very well in school and his wish is to graduate high school and attend college.  Bing's favorite food is Thai Barbeque.  His mother is in prison in Chiang Mai with a life sentence. Bing does get to visit his mother in prison, but he will most likely never see her out of prison.

Bing's favorite Bible Story is: The story of Samson.

"I like this story because: Samson was a very strong man, and his strength came from God not himself."

David - Age 11, Nawah - Age - 8

David and Nawah are brothers.  They were the 2nd and 3rd children rescued by CFPM. David like to play running games, soccer and ride bicycles.  His favorite food is fried rice.  Nawah likes to go swimming, ride bicycles and pretend with his sisters (May and Sunni).  His favorite food is only vegetables (this is a funny joke).

David's favorite Bible story is Noah and the Flood.  "I like this story because Noah built a very big boat.  I like the animals that God sent to Noah too."

Nawah's favorite Bible story is Jesus calms the storm.  "I like this story because it helps me calm my fears sometimes, and there is a great song that explains the story."

Sunni - Age 8, May - Age - 7

Sunni and May are half-sisters.  They came is stay with CFPM in March of 2009.  Their father is incarcerated in Chiang Rai.  Sunni's mother has left her to fend for herself.  May's mother is still around Chaing Rai, but she has made a very conscious decision that she doesn't want May.  May's mother still cries when she sees her and probably still loves May.  However, she loves herself more.  She wants a new life away from the shackles of children.  Sunni also loves to ride bicycles, and play with her toys.  Her favorite food is Thai noodles.  May likes to play with her toys (mainly her dolly).  She also loves Thai noodles and ice cream.

Sunni's favorite Bible story is God leading Moses and the Israelites out of Egypt .  "I like this story because of Moses obedience to God...even though he didn't want to. "

May's favorite Bible story is Jesus dying on the cross.  "I like this story because He did that for me.  He loves me."

Tawan - Age 3     

Tawan is a unique story for CFPM.  He came to stay with us when he was just 18 months old.  He was born in prison.  He will probably have finished his bachelors degree (potentially even his masters degree) by the time his mother is released from prison.  Tawan loves his toys.  He is forever carrying some toy around with him.  Tawan is a great eater.  He loves just about everything except vegetables!  

Nami - Age 3

Nami came to us at the same time as Tawan.  Her mother was incarcerated shortly after she was born and stayed with her mother (in prison) until she was 18 months old.  She is easily our most talkative little one.  Her personality is easy to see.  Nami loves to sing and dance.  She is always asking for someone to turn on some music for her so she can listen.  Even at such a young age she can sing the Thai national anthem loud and clear!
