The building project for the Haven Foundation just broke ground!! This was a year-long design project that Lori has been working on since January of 2010. Now, the construction is underway, and we are expecting wonderful things for this children’s home complex in the coming year! We expect to see lives changes by the power and love of God in these homes, and a message sent to the surrounding community.
This children’s home complex is beginning with 6 homes (of 4 bedrooms each) and a central chapel and dining building. The plan is to later replicate the plans as more land is acquired and the financial means secured. The goal of this complex is to create smaller homes than NGO (non-governmental organization) foundations normally construct, with only 8 children per home. Each home will have its own house parents, which will create a family unit, and not the traditional “institutional” feel of most orphanages.

The groundbreaking ceremony was really an all day party…and so it should be! The kids and staff celebrated all day with a BBQ, games, Christmas presents, and worship. It was beautiful to see the excitement of the children as they began to see things coming together for their new home. Lori was honored for all her design & engineering work on the project. Congratulations Lori!
Pray for the children that will be living in these homes that they will know Jesus personally and their lives will be changed.
