We are supposed to pick up 3 more kids this coming week and already its getting to be a very tight squeeze, I can’t imagine what its going to look like with 16 children in one 1300 SQ Ft house. We are starting to look at options of opening a second house in the same city. Rents are pretty cheap so that should not be to big of a deal, it would be best if we could find something close enough to share meals in the kitchen we just finished building. We will keep you posted on that front.
Its amazing how once the doors opened with the tribes we are all of a sudden starting to get kids all the time. We even have the police department calling us when they find children who’s lives are threatened by the practice we are trying to stop.
No doubt about it, we need to get working on building a bigger building and making this more sustainable for the long term. We are already talking to the city about getting a parcel of land to build on we just have to start figuring out how to find the money to make it all happen.
Never a dull moment!
And Tighter….

Perfect way to start my Sunday morning, I will continue to pray for you guys and especially pray that as children come God will provide everything you need to care for them. Praying for the another building and the land! Praise God you guys are saving so many children!
