Background / History

About ten years ago, Mrs. Peter Lee shard a dream with her bible study group of building a Christian orphanage in her deceased husband's hometown. Together, the two of them had worked in various orphanages and seen the vast need. Various Tulsa United Methodists heard of her vision and the district sent a team to China to assess the feasibility of building such a home. After becoming an official district project in 2003, fundraising began for construction.

The home was opened and decicated in the Summer of 2006.
