Door Of Faith Nursery Fundraising Opportunities and Building Updates! 

DOF Nursery 06/09

Starting to COME TOGETHER!   

If you haven't visited the Nursery at the Door of Faith Orphanage lately, you might be surprised at the progress being made! The second story is ready for the roof and the plastering of interior of the first floor is almost completed. Join us all summer long as work groups from all over will continue to be involved with the build. 

 

 DOF TILES 1

 

Remember those tiles that many of you decorated or sponsored a child to decorate? Well they are starting to appear! We still have some children left at the DOF that need a sponsor and have almost 60 tiles left that for a 50.00 donation, YOU, YOUR FAMILY, or SMALL GROUP can meet at COLOR ME MINE in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA to decorate.

 Several months ago it became very apparent that with the safety, economic, and health concerns confronting Baja Mexico , just trying to supply basic day to day needs to existing ministries involved with children would become critical. Food Distribution 2But thanks to the help of several organizations (Global Aid Network, Convoy of Hope, Feed my Starving Children, and Childrens Hunger Fund) and their sponsoring donors, over 16 existing ministries operating in Baja Mexico have been blessed with much needed food and sanitization items.  These ministries serve orphanages, migrant farm worker communities, and destitute families living in areas of severe poverty throughout Baja.

 

As God provides these much needed resources, both STM, Hilarious Givers, and Club Dust are committed to ensuring these children's needs will continue to be met. For more information on how you can become involved in the distribution efforts, please contact Judd at

As plans are being made for the summer season, we invite you to take advantage of all the summer serving opportunities happening both locally and globally. Whether its taking a one day or weekend trip into Baja Mexico to help build or minister to families and children, bringing your family to Santa Ana for a couple hours on a Saturday to help distribute food to other families in need, or volunteering to help with or participate in our summer fundraising activities, the idea is to JUST GET INVOLVED. 

 

Looking forward to serving together,

The STM Team

Shyogwe Rwanda Project 

 

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS!

rwanda girls dorm rendering  

Thanks in large part to the generosity of many of you, we have raised and sent to Rwanda nearly $10,000 to get started on the first phase of the girls dormitory building.  That money will provide for the purchase of cement, steel and bricks, and allow construction to begin. Although there is a large fund raising goal remaining, it is fantastic to finally have the project under way.  We all play an integral part in changing the lives of these girls.

Now all of us must work together, with God's help, to complete the task.  We are seeking your prayers, ideas, additional contributions, or any other way you can assist us in reaching our goal. If you have any ideas or want to be a bigger part of this project, please call either Richard Cohen ~ 949-768-0599  or  Joe Corey ~ 714-931-5801.
