As one of CBF's field personnel, Lisenby works with
Angel House Rehabilitation & Education Center in Guangxi Province along China’s southern border. Angel House is one of the few schools in the country designed specifically to serve children with cerebral palsy.
“We definitely work among a marginalized segment of society,” Lisenby said. “This work gives me an opportunity to impact whole families, and even the community at large, as the Chinese learn how to affirm and welcome special needs individuals into their society. I am amazed at how God works.”
In addition to her work at Angel House, Lisenby also coordinates mission tours and
recruits teachers to provide courses in English for Chinese students. She notes that there are many English teaching opportunities – short-term, long-term, for middle school- and university-level students.
