The Beginning

Agape Family Life House was founded by Keith and Cheryl Wyse from the United States. In 2002, the Wyses felt called to move to Asia to aid handicapped children. The Wyses had already adopted their own daughters from Asia, Rebekah and Rachelle, twins suffering from Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) and later Lydia and Esther.  They sold everything they owned and moved to Asia to pursue their passion. 

Eventually they would open Agape Family Life House to care for children with OI. They would also start the Bread of Life Bakery, a bakery that employs some of the oldest children and young adults who were living at the home.  

The Wyses also dedicated themselves to working with local hospitals and American hospitals to bring surgical procedures and treatments to China. Together with Dr. Wu Guo Hua of the Langfang Orthopedic Hospital, Keith Wyse co-founded the OI Association of China.

Following the death of Keith in 2017, the staff at Agape Family Life House has continued his legacy, providing lifesaving work to handicapped children from local families.
