Please take a look at today's new posting on the "Latest News" page of the web site. You'll find interesting information about one of the children we are feeding today. You'll see her photo plus the following story: 


Because she lives in a dirty environment, Santi can’t grow to be healthy. Her body looks wrinkled, thin, and skinny, as if she has no future. From the looks of her body, everyone who sees her would be able to guess that she is not healthy.  Because the parents live under the poverty line, it is not possible to take her to the doctor. Santi is only one of the thousands of Indonesian children living is such poverty. You are very unfortunate, Santi, but trust that God exists, and "HE" never even gets sleepy, much less sleeps.

Moving Day

Today is the day Daniel and his family move out of their house and into a small rental property not far away. The re-bar has been purchased and is being formed and tomorrow construction will begin on the new two story house where the family will live on the second floor and we hope to house 20 orphans on the first floor. This marks the second phase of our overall plan: 1. feed 20 children, 2. rent a place where we can take care of 20 orphans, 3. purchase a permanent property to house the children, 4. build a self-supporting National Plus school on the children's home property where our children will graduate from High School having followed an Indonesian curriculum but fluent in English.

In phase 2 all of our activities will be moved to Daniel's house. The cost of construction is our rent payment and we will have the use of the house for 10 years minimum. All of our classes will be taught there and Sunday services will be conducted there as well. We will continue feeding the 20 children from phase 1 (street children who live with their parents) while we accept an additional 20 abandoned, neglected and unwanted children into the children's home.

It's exciting to see the work progressing and growing. We see the hand of God in making this all possible and we invite you to join us by making a financial contribution to the work. Thanks.
