Serving Those In Need

We are going to serve the Dvorak family in their orphanage home in which they have 17 children and 7 teens. The following are areas we will be serving:

Service Project – This is a manual labor/work we do on the homes grounds to help them take care of their facilities (painting, sanding, cement work, landscaping, etc…). Woodie the hot water heater will be installed along with a structure to keep it protected. We will also be installing a cyclone fence and our carpenters Jeff and Jason have a project to build a bench in the courtyard.

Youth Care – We will be assisting Becky Dvorak and the children’s caregivers with bathing, feeding, playing and general care of the young children. Our focus is on 4 bible lessons including Joseph and God's continued care, Jesus' birth, the lost sheep and Daniel in the lions den.

We will be helping the school age children while they are in school (there is a school on the grounds) with school work and crafts.

Men will be mentoring with the teen boys nightly.Sports – structured sports program with teen boys daily.

Community Children’s Program -We will provide a children’s program Sunday afternoon when we arrive at the home for local children (4-13 yrs old). Our theme is Jesus is the light of the world - Jesús es la luz del mundo.

God showed up #4

The great big shoe! One of the earliest requests for items that the kids really needed was shoes. We were told that it is a tremendous treat for the kids to be able to pick out a new pair of shoes themselves. Every child is unique and being a shoe devotee myself I can understand the thrill of picking out just the right pair of shoes, increase the excitement with children who RARELY get anything new let alone a pair of shoes. God is never greedy with peoples talents and gifts and when he offers opportunities get on board 'cause it's always good. A phone call to Glenda Recker and the shoe project was on it's way. She and Angela Kanerva combined forces and kids from Promise Connection started to gather "coins for kids". The church family joined in also and with that momentum we now have all the money needed to go on a special shopping trip with children from the home. That is God showing up in his mighty way:)
