HOUSE #7 IS FINISHED!
 
Health Inspec­tors will check the house on Mon­day and then we can offi­cial­ly open it to receive chil­dren, or more infants if the need aris­es.
 
It was a joint effort from 2 donors on dif­fer­ent con­ti­nents. 
 
Thank you to Caleb and Sarah of Inspire Inter­na­tion­al in the USA for your gen­er­ous gift that built the 4‑bedroom chil­dren’s home and the laun­dry area.
 

House #7. This 4‑bedroom orphan home is com­plete.

Bar­ry and Lynette of Aus­tralia, thank you for going the extra mile in send­ing your gift that built the kitchen/dining area and bath­rooms.

3 bathing areas on front with 4 buck­et flush toi­lets in back.​
 
We are thrilled to have had the mate­ri­als avail­able to com­plete this com­plex, for 2 weeks ago both cement and tin roof­ing sheets were sold out with store own­ers say­ing it could be 30 days or more before they receive a sup­ply.  GOD IS ALWAYS “ON TIME” WITH ALL WE NEED!
 
 
HOUSE FIRE WIPED OUT ALL THEY HAD
 
Our Melu­co Orphans Man­ag­er, Syl­vai, sent me this pho­to of a burned out mud hut on Sun­day.
 

Scorched trees show how fast and hot the roof burned.​
 
A Granny and her 3 orphaned grand­chil­dren were clean­ing their farm­ing field when they saw bil­low­ing smoke com­ing from their mud hut. An unknown, obvi­ous­ly very heart­less per­son, had set it on fire. Syl­vai found this very hun­gry fam­i­ly the next morn­ing sit­ting under a tree near their home. They had noth­ing but the clothes on their backs.
 
The Grand­moth­er stat­ed that they had no fire at their hut when they left that morn­ing, so some­one had to have start­ed it on pur­pose. This fam­i­ly has been in our orphan food pro­gram for sev­er­al years, so Syl­vai noti­fied me imme­di­ate­ly, putting our EMERGENCY RESCUE PLAN into action.
 
Cape­na assist­ed me in send­ing the equiv­a­lent of $150 to Syl­vai via phone trans­fer with­in 1 hour of Syl­vai’s mes­sage. He went to the Melu­co mar­ket with the fam­i­ly and bought them each 2 sets of clothes, new plates and a cook­ing pan, as well as new school sup­plies for the 3 chil­dren.

This week Syl­vai orga­nized bam­boo and 8‑foot bun­dles of roof­ing grass so he can replace their roof for an addi­tion­al $70. (Sent to him yes­ter­day)
 
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR LOVE GIFTS LAST MONTH, FOR THOSE GIFTS MADE THIS EMERGENCY RESCUE POSSIBLE. 
 
 
BALAMA ADMINISTRATOR VISITED ON THURSDAY 
 
On this vis­it, our Admin­is­tra­tor first checked on the chil­dren, then asked to see our food ware­hous­es. He is super keen on help­ing us increase our agri­cul­tur­al yield on the 40 acres/16 hectares of our mis­sion sta­tion. 
 

Bala­ma Admin­is­tra­tor vis­its our corn ware­house.​
 
He request­ed the Direc­tor of Agri­cul­ture to assist us with a plan before plant­i­ng time in Novem­ber. 
 
It’s great to have friends who real­ly care.
 
Bless­ings
