We rejoice as a landowner has agreed to lease an acre of land for $145 for three years which will enable them to grow beans and vegetables to feed the children and grow Napier grass to feed the cow that God provided earlier this month. The landowner was very generous as this is half the price of what would typically be charged for leasing of an acre of land. God has provided for the purchase of this land, and they are hoping to be able to clear, prepare the land, and plant beans by the end of the month.
The projected labor and expenses of this are below:
- Clearing, uprooting present sugarcane and 1st digging - $100 for labor
- 2nd and 3rd digging - $80 for labor
- Planting of beans - $50 for labor
- Planting materials - $100
- Fencing the land - $100
- Labor for fencing - $40
- Labor for planting - $50
Please consider your support in this ministry effort of touching these children's lives with His love.

11-4-15
With your help and prayers this 1 acre farm land for the orphanage has been cleared, the 2nd and 3rd digging completed, and the fencing is finished, and the planting of the beans is complete. Several men from the church congregation were willing to help with the planting to eliminate the labor costs. Praise God! We are moving forward into this great blessing for the orphanage. It takes about 2 months for the plants to sprout and grow and about 4 months till harvest. Thank you for your prayers and support!
