This morning we went to visit the residents of the McKean Rehabilitation Center for leprosy. This is a picture of a couple that invited us into their little home to sing and pray with them. Gaio and his wife Kaleo (I know I mispelled both their names) have lived here for over 50 years. The picture does not show it, but neither have fingers and they seemed about 4 feet tall. Gaio was very talkative and excited to sing with us (we had a book of some Christian Thai songs). He shared a little bit about how he had been at McKean for a long time and had met his wife there 50 years ago and they both became Christians. He was a really sweet man, probably more than one of us were choking back a few tears this morning ;)
We called McKean's the prayer center of Thailand because many of the people there are Christians and can not go out into the world as easily as we can. Their ministry is prayer, which was very evident by the fervent desire of Gaio, Kaleo, and Wile (another woman we sang and prayed with) to be prayed for, and to pray with and over us.
