Next Wednesday, Dec. 15th, the dept. of Social welfare will carry out an inspection on our newly built and furnished Children’s Homes that will allow us to fill them with a housemother and children.  Please pray the process through, with us!

With the start of December, several of our resident children have the privilege of being taken to other homes on holidays.  Please pray for safety, for rest, for positive influences.

This Thursday through Sat. our resident youth and others are heading out on a camp.  Please pray for safety and for God to impact their lives for eternity!

For patience as the electricity cuts seem to get worse by the week.  The days of black outs are trying our patience, and making us tired as we continually ‘reorganize’ life to meet demands of work, village and home without the power and the water that it affects.

Please pray for new and faithful Child Care Plus, child sponsors!  We still have almost 20 children not sponsored and in these economic times, have lost several more as circumstances in peoples lives change.  This greatly affects our ability to keep things running and provide for those we have made a committment to – the children.

Please pray for God to have His way.  Our current permit expires August 25th, and all necessary documents have been submitted.  Now we wait.

Please pray that all we do is done with excellence in the eyes of God.

That as the Secondary School develops, curriculum is decided upon, teachers are hired, and buildings are erected that we hear God’s heart for the children and respond accordingly.

That as we begin to pursue the establishment of the Medical Clinic, that all the necessary pieces and people (approved plans, workers, doctor and nurses, supplies, agreements) would come together in a manner that pleases God and remains in line with our vision and mission statements at the Village of Hope.

Despite the changes to the economy, the growing choices in the shops, the country is still in flux and so as we enter another election year in 2011, please pray with us that peace will reign, that God will have His way in this beautiful nation.
