Michael and Silvia have about 20 resident orphans living in
their two-room home –
The
Sanctuary Babies Home – and twice as many attending the small school they
started. Most of the children are in what we call “baby class” which means they
are preschoolers but as time progresses so do the children. They recognized
that so many children in the neighborhood could not attend school because fees
were too high and they knew for certain they could not pay for their 20
children to attend. Starting a school seemed like the only answer.
Temporary wooden structures rest just outside the compound
gate and are almost ready to be filled with children. Michael also reports that
he’s gardening on a few acres of land outside town as well. He’s using what he
learned in the Entrepreneurship workshop to give back to his community, though
the start is definitely not easy. Michael did report that the children went
without food for a few days – and I believe him. I know this man and he is not
one to ask unless there is an emergency. He believes in hard work and the
blessings of the Lord.
While he is doing all he can to put to good use the assets
he has around him, that doesn’t mean the way is easy. Please pray that Michael
and Silvia would supernaturally have the resources they need to care for this
future generation – that bags of rice would remain full, that cartons of whole
milk would never run dry, that those sending their children to this school
would have the resources in abundance to enable them to pay their school fees.
In Jesus name, amen!
