Below are some of the projects that are either already underway or still in the planning stages, perhaps waiting for funds. Please pray about helping with one or more of these projects. Each one of them is a different expression of our Father's love, either to the orphans & needy children, widows/widowers, building up the Body of Christ or reaching out to those who don't know Him. These projects only become reality as people are moved with His compassion to reach out to needy and/or hurting people. Any money that you give will only be used as you designate it. Please call or write us if you have any questions. Thanks for your prayers & support!! |

HOPE TAILORING SHOP |
|
HOPE BUILDING & WALLS |
| At the HOPE Orphanage some of the older girls have already had some instruction in tailoring. Money has been given for more machines and tables, and space has been set aside on the upper floor for 2 tailoring rooms. The roof slab and columns have been completed. The goal is to finish these 2 rooms, where material would be stored and the stitching would be done. Once the building has been completed, we'd like to build a small tailoring shop along the front wall of HOPE where we could do business and earn income for the home. This will also provide jobs for some of our girls and boys when they are finished with school. Estimated cost for the 2 upstairs tailoring rooms at the current exchange rate is approximately $4500. The tailoring shop to be built later would run about $8,000. |

Since the above photo was taken, 2 guest rooms and much of the staircase has been completed on the upper floor (all of the downstairs has been completed). Still to be finished upstairs are 6 classrooms and bathrooms for the HOPE School, and 2 tailoring rooms (roof slab and columns already done). This wall at the back of the orphanage also needs to be built. We can build a little bit at a time as funds come in if necessary. Total estimated cost for the upstairs work at current exchange rate is between $20,000 and $25,000. The outside wall is about $2300. This home can easily house about 25-30 girls, as well as have the HOPE School upstairs, the tailoring rooms, and be a place of ministry for the HMP widows. |
* Two other projects that we would like to do eventually are 1. A new Boys Home with adjoining land, and 2. A new Widows Home with adjoining land. Both of these works would be part of the HOPE Orphanage ministry. But we're not actively pursuing the funds for these projects at this time until our base of support is stronger. The Lord is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider, but it seems to be His direction at this time to not establish either one of these homes without the confidence that we'll be able to meet the ongoing expenses associated with these projects. Pray with us about these 2 things, as both of them would be a blessing for more boys and widows. |
