A refugee herself, Rosebell is committed to serving the Karen people living in exile along the Thailand/Myanmar border. Venture is honored to have partnered with Rosebell since 2012. Rosebell and her husband — both ordained pastors — minister to unaccompanied children, widows, and families who have fled the civil war in Myanmar, providing safe haven, education for the children, and food for those who cannot provide for themselves. All of this is delivered through an extensive network of evangelists who, in 2019, fed 6,000 people a day; in addition, together with Rosebell, Venture is caring for 160 children in two refugee camps on the Thai side of the border.

Rallyan’s network fed 4,350 people a day, mostly in orphan care homes in Yangon, Myanmar.
