With KOI (Kids of Indonesia), our plan had four phases: 1. To feed 20 children a day. 2. To rent a house and shelter, feed, clothe and educate children, 3. Purchase a property where the children's home could be permanently located. 4. Add a school on our own property for the KOI.
The first phase has been in existence for several months now and is progressing fine. As we prepare for phase two, God has led a man to us for Bible study who with his former wife adopted a son. Now that his wife has left him he has no way of taking care of his son (Ezra) and making a living for the two of them. He has asked Daniel to take the boy like Eli took Samuel and raise him to serve the Lord. Daniel has agreed to do this when the current school year is up so the boy's education will not be interrupted.
In November the lease on our present store front building will be up and we have decided that we will look for a house where Ezra and perhaps others that God sends our way will live. Our classes and worship services will also be conducted there.
We ask for your prayers that the rent money will be supplied and that the additional funds needed for Ezra's school supplies, uniforms, food, clothing and medical attention (if needed) will be available. It will cost about $100 a month to support Ezra and give him the home he deserves. We will add him to the KOI budget and trust that God will open the hearts of people like you to help us give Ezra and others a hope for the future both physical and spiritual.
Please help us. The donate button on the right works. Money has already been donated this way and it is easy to do. We need money to operate, but more than that we need your prayers as we begin this second phase of what we believe God is calling us to do. Please help us. Thanks.
