We have partnered with Agape Baptist Church to begin assisting
the 84 orphans that they care for. Agape Baptist Church Children’s
Village was started as the result of a one time donation that
allowed the church to construct the eight homes that make up this
orphanage.
The
children that are being cared for at this children’s village
are orphans because their parents have died from AIDS or other
diseases and their families could not or would not care for them.
In some cases, these children have been sold into slavery, and
then rescued by Agape Baptist Church. These 84 kids have now found
an amazing home. Agape Baptist children’s village homes
each house one mother and twelve children. The children and the
mothers work together to plant crops, raise rabbits and chickens,
do laundry, cook meals, provide education, and all of the other
essentials that a child would need. These children are well cared
for.
The
funds from the initial grant, however, will expire soon. The church
is working hard at developing projects that will produce an income
to keep the village operating, and even bring in more children.
There will be a gap, however, between when the initial funds expire,
and the income generating projects become profitable enough to
sustain the village.
Mosaic
Vision Ministries will stand in that gap to provide food, clothing,
and necessities until the time when the village can sustain itself.
The current cost to sustain the village is $3000 per month. The
Agape Baptist church stepped out in faith believing that God would
provide a home for these children. We believe this, too.
Will
you partner with us to make this happen?
