Morning Star
Starting in a bamboo hut in 2004, Morning Star
supported the health of families by providing emergency food assistance, feeding programs, free toothbrushes, de-worming medicines, and family planning support. Medical Dental Days to remote villages included free doctors, free dentists, free anesthetics, and free medicines. Direct assistance to schools included free school supplies.
A Vacation Bible School was held in a local
village, Bible studies were started, and evangelical outreach took the form of one-day evening crusades and children's programs on Medical-Dental Days. And a tiny baby named Brendan was left with Cynthia to raise.
In 2005, Morning Star moved into its headquarters,
a two-bedroom home and attached 8x8 meter hall. Programs were expanded to meet growing needs and a wider outreach. Medical-Dental Days were offered in more villages, as well as at the Morning Star headquarters. Morning Star received the authority to go to the government for rice. Young people began to move into the Morning Star house, to attend local schools, receive food and clothing, learn to play guitar, and learn responsibility by doing chores.
