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.

Woodie the hot water heater & his amigo Mark

There has been so much happening in just one day. On the project side
we painted bedrooms in the orphans house, put up chain link fencing,
dug a trench for a bench in the school courtyard and worked on
installing Woodie. On the heart side we have fallen head over heels in
love with the children here. When you walk into a home or the little
play park and five or six children run to you just for hugs, without
ever having see you before how can you not fall in love? God is in
this place and he is working in our hearts, it's a privelidge to be
here. We will be going to the shoe store Wednesday:)
