What We Strive to Provide to Every Child We Serve
Key Areas of Ministry in Tanzania
Discipleship
We seek to share the love of Christ with every child through both word and deed in the same manner that parents are commanded to raise their children in the way of Christ. As children mature spiritually and accept Christ, we want to see them apply biblical principles and knowledge in all areas of life. As the children we serve graduate or age out of the ministry, we want them to understand their purpose of glorifying God and appreciate the biblical basis for their value as a person made in God’s image.
Education
Every child in our care has the opportunity to attend a school operated and financed by us. The primary and secondary schools strive to promote an educational culture of grace. We structure the curriculum so that the message and hope of Christ is woven into each subject. We prepar children to both excel on national exams and impact the world for Christ.
Safe Homes
Most of the children in our care used to either live on the streets of a large city or were brought to us due to the loss of one or both of their parents. Sometimes a child is brought to us as a result of abuse in the home. Providing a safe housing environment in a dorm-style setting with house parents is critical to rebuilding trust with the children.
Mentorship
Due to the conditions and situations from which children are rescued, significant time and energy is invested in helping them heal from various forms of abuse and neglect. The emotional and spiritual restoration of these young hearts requires great patience.
Vocational Training
We strive to provide students who will not be attending university with vocational skills, such as welding, woodworking, plumbing, metal fabrication, agriculture, and tailoring. These skills will help them find employment. We also strive to have mutually beneficial relationships with business owners in the community to help the children we serve gain work experience as they enter their mid-to-late teens.
