Robin was
born in Birmingham and lived in Aldridge till he was 20. He
has lived in Australia, New Zealand and from 1994, in China.
His father, the late Walter Hill was Aldridge Youth Fellowship
leader
for many years. Robin met and married Joyce in Australia
and since 1998,
they have followed God's direction in caring for abandoned Chinese
babies with medical needs in their home,
Hope Foster Home
www.hopefosterhome.com
Joyce is a doctor and she tends to their immediate needs and also
seeks surgeons around the world to help with the surgical
needs.
The first home was opened Feb 2000 in a small village in the south
east of Beijing. In 2002 they started work on the new facility
in Bei Wu Shunyi. This home now cares for up to 65 babies.
During 2005 & 2006 2 new units were added which care for babies
that are dying. These units can care for up to a total of 57
babies.
The vision for these units is “To comfort always, to relieve
often and to save sometimes.”
They are hoping to expand their work during 2007 by building a
completely new foster home in Luoyang with the help of
Shaohannah’s Hope, (http://members.shaohannahshope.org/site/PageServer
) The Christian American singer Steven Curtis Chapman’s Charity
foundation.
This unit will be able to look after over 90 babies in need of
long term chronic care.
They have seen God move in some amazing ways to care for the very
least of the babies in China giving the babies the best there
is.
