“These children are like undiscovered treasures.”

Tim Baker · "Yixi" Speech

Scripture

Matthew 25:40 - And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'

Reflection

Tim Baker, an American, came to China with his family in 1988 to teach English, but instead encountered abandoned and disabled children in welfare institutes. He said, 'These children are like undiscovered treasures.' He and his wife stayed, adopting children and raising funds to build the Shepherd's Field Children's Village, helping thousands of children receive medical care and over nine hundred find permanent homes. Great love is not just a slogan; it is laying down one's whole life. The Lord said that whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me—Tim Baker's entire life has been a living footnote to these words.
