We Have the House
Now that the purchase is complete we are focusing on
restoring the big house to become the Transformation Center. We can only
do this as we have funds available. Currently, we are trying to keep up
with feeding the hungry kids we know in The Philippines that are suffering from a lack of
food. The house needs work, a lot of work, to restore
it to full potential. However, the basic structure of the buildings are
concrete and steel, it is very solid giving us a great frame and
foundation to build on. We need to do electrical, plumbing, flooring,
and finishing of the many rooms.
The design will make an excellent children’s home.
There are large rooms that can be used for classes and gatherings. There
are many bathrooms and bedrooms. It is big, the house is about 12,800 sq
ft. It has two floors and three in some places. It has a lot of windows
for natural lighting. It is located next to a small town; with ocean
beach resorts. It is a quiet place with many farms in the area and not
far from a national park which is a beautiful rain forest. The house is
in a setting of natural beauty. From the back side of the property there is a beautiful view
of rice fields, mountains, and rain forest. Also on the back side is a
farm lot for sale which we would like to purchase someday and make into
a small farm to produce food. We believe that we can produce enough to help
the orphanage, help the hungry kids in the area, and possibly sell some
also.
A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation. (Psalms 68:5) We are God’s holy
habitation that means He wants to use us to help the fatherless and
widows. The kids we rescue from the streets are fatherless, they either
do not have a father or their father does not take care of them and
provide for them, for whatever reasons. When we get to know the kids we
learn that each one is unique and has their own sad story about how they
ended up living on the street. However, they got there they are kids in
need of our help and your help. Each one is created in the image of God
and has great potential and hidden talents and gifts. Each one is a
diamond in the rough and precious in the sight of God. When we look
through His eyes we can see how precious they are and we can feel the
compassion of the Fathers’ love for each one.
Blessed is he who considers the poor; The LORD will
deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him and keep him
alive, And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to
the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of
illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed. (Psalms 41:1-3)
"Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose
the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed
go free, And that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread
with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast
out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself
from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall
go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
(Isaiah 58:6-8 NKJV)
Our vision is that this home would become a proto type
and a model of how other children’s homes could be set up around the
world to see street kids and orphans lives transformed. We are asking
you to pray and seek the Lord about what He would have you give toward
helping us provide this home for kids in need in the Philippines.
