Orphans
Our vision is to disciple a million orphans using Jesus model to become world changers.
We will group children into families of 8-10 headed by mothers who have been trained in parenting at our leadership schools. The families will be grouped into villages containing churches, schools & small businesses.
The key to the success of these families is the training and support of the mothers that enables them to make long term commitments to the children and to create happy and safe home environments. Parents will attend regular training and support groups that encourage them to grow and create families that laugh and worship together, bringing children fully alive.
As children enter adolescence, we will initiate them and give them the keys to the kingdom. We will give them apprenticeships in the small businesses and schools. We will take them on short term missions and show them how to plant the kingdom in new places.
Although the orphan villages will be largely self sustaining, we will recruit sponsors who we will ask to develop long term relationships with villages, families and individual children. Sponsors will be known to the orphans as uncles and aunts. Sponsors must make a minimum commitment of ten years to a family. This will in most cases require a one year trial period.
Children growing up in these families will have
a wonderful sense of belonging to a great extended family in which
they have a role and a destiny. As they grow to maturity, they will
have family members scattered around the world. At 21, children will
go on a one year
