Texas Churches Support Orphanage in Langfang

Chinese orphanage helps pastors find a common goal
Levi was found in a field, badly burned and on the verge of death.

What happened to that child left crying and alone among cornstalks in China four years ago has helped forge close ties between two Texas churches.

For the sake of Levi, who survived and is now a happy 4-year-old, and thousands of other orphaned and abandoned children in China, Fielder Road Baptist Church in Arlington and Richland Hills Church of Christ in North Richland Hills have set aside doctrinal differences and formed a rare partnership.

Two of Tarrant County's largest churches are supporting Harmony House, a new orphanage for abandoned and special-needs children at Langfang, near Beijing. The orphanage in China is led by John Bentley and his wife, Lisa, the couple who adopted Levi. The couple had formerly worked with the Philip Hayden Foundation, which helped Levi and continues to help many other abandoned children.
