We have initiated the next step in our growing program which consists of entrance level work that will be done in partnership with many churches throughout Kenya.
We are constructing smaller facilities at these church locations, hiring the cook and assistants, and those churches will work with the boys for several months at those facilities as their own personal project. When the needs of these children have been tended to and they have shown the desire to leave the street life behind them, they will be transferred to the main facility for their preliminary education.

We have also started the construction of a large home on a sizable plot of land that has been acquired to which the boys will be transferred to after the second stage of their rehab is complete. This facility will house three hundred children and will become their permanent childhood home.

We have been offered sizable pieces of land on which to build vocational facilities in time. We have also made the proper connection with the Kenyan government and local officials, and have been assured that we will receive full cooperation in our endeavor to further the education and well-being of these children beyond the high school level, so that they may become good Kenyan citizens as apposed to a societal problem.

We have now made the necessary connections to carry this program to Uganda, Angola, India, Guatemala, the Philippines, and Jamaica. The problem with street children is a growing one and the needs are many.

 

Should the Lord continue to bless this work, our plan is to set these satellite facilities in place in many towns and form a partnership with churches in the United States as well as other developed countries.

The satellite facilities will be turned over to the U.S. churches as a personal project for them and their congregations. They will take on the responsibility of funding these projects, usually at no more than four hundred dollars a month, and can do this through individual sponsorships as well as donations. They will have a work of their own that they will be able to lead teams from their own congregation to in order to experience and serve the children and ministry there. We will also provide instruction in all that is needed to make it a successful mission for them, and it is guaranteed that the hearts of those involved will be overwhelmed with a warm love and a new perspective on servant hood and caring for those in need.
