www.HarmonyOutreach.org - a great ministry for special needs orphans, foster care, major surgeries, then adoption. They also assist with the basic needs of many orphanages throughout China.
I randomly met Lisa and 4 of her children at Bite-a-Pitta here in Beijing. We got to talking about how we came to China, ministry, and so much more in a rather brief conversation. Then Jaime and I met with Wayne Barnard, a board member, for dinner at Peter's Tex-Mex to talk about getting involved in the work of Harmony Outreach.
Everything we have heard has been positive. They are well publicized, but the ministry is quite expensive, considering all the surgeries and daily costs. The Bentleys continue to step out on faith as they partner with a number of other orphanages throughout China.
Here are some wonderful video links about the ministry of Harmony Outreach.
John Bentley, a co-founder, talks about their story, ministry, and life in Beijing.

I have committed to raising $480 for Harmony outreach before January 1st. If you are able to help with a few or few hundred dollars, that would be great!
