Fedja Orphanage

Construction crews are mobilizing now for an urgent trip to Fedja in August to complete mandatory unplanned construction work that is necessary to keep the orphanage in operation past the end of the summer. We need both your prayers and your financial support to help us resolve these issues immediately.

On May 15, inspectors from Haiti's Social Welfare Ministry alerted us to a number of construction changes that must be completed in three months, in order for us to keep our license to operate the orphanage. If this work is not completed in time, we would be forced to shut down the orphanage, and begin the long process of petitioning for a new license.

Thanks to the quick response of some donors, we have been able to press ahead with plans to send a construction team and we will soon begin purchasing the materials they need for the August construction. But we are watching and praying day by day that the project can be fully funded to ensure this critical work is completed.

Only once these urgent demands have been met can we return to the coordination and funding of the original plan, which involved having a crew travel in October to finish the installation of the roof and complete the interior of the bays which will serve as the orphan's rooms. This is a milestone we have long been anticipating ... the day the orphans will be able to move into their home for the first time!

That next phase of work will require approximately $30,000 to complete, but all available donations are being directed to this new unplanned construction. Please pray that the Lord would have His hand on all of these efforts, that we would keep our eyes fixed firmly on Him, and that this work would be completed in His timing!

It would also be a huge blessing if you would tell others about this project and help put us in touch with potential donors. If you know of people or organizations who might be willing to help, please let us know ... click here to contact us.
