God led the Norton family to open a children’s home in the previously unentered city of Sukhothai in north-central Thailand. They have accepted children from terrible, abusive places into their home where they can grow in a safe, loving, and healthy environment. 

The need for a Christ-centered school for the children is great. Currently, they must attend the local state school and try to counteract the Buddhist ideas with their home training. A school on their property would be such a blessing to these children and to the surrounding community.  

The task is daunting, but God can open the doors. The best first step is to backfill the remaining rice paddies on the property so that land can be developed for use as a school.

The price tag for such a project is around $40,000, give or take. The undeveloped area spans close to half the property, which is around 9 1/2 acres in total. So roughly 4 acres of it needs a couple of feet of dirt to bring it level.
