To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the
glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ
in you, the hope of glory. Col. 1:27
Our Vision:
Teisa and Jean have a holy desire to see the Kingdom of God
established on earth as it is in heaven. Our mission is to
shine the light, to demonstrate the life, and to share the
love of Jesus around the world. Our goal in ministry is to
see everyone we come in contact with positively affected
and changed by the love of God.
Our goals for the upcoming year include pioneering a new
children's center here in S.A. We are in the preliminary
stages...81 acres of land have been purchased...4 large
existing houses are almost ready to be moved into...however
much needs to be done...social services, licenses, town
planning, zoning, finding and training house parents, etc.
As you can see we have a monumental task ahead of us, but
we serve a great BIG GOD! And with Him all things are
possible. (please pray for laborers) When Teisa and I
visited S.A. at the end of February we saw a great need.
AIDS has claimed so many lives, leaving children to live
with grandparents or relatives. When this isn't possible
they're either abandoned at local hospitals or they take
the streets. While visiting the property we believe the
Lord put it upon our hearts to move here, and He gave us
vision as to what He wanted us to do. The vision we believe
the Lord gave us is for 18-20 more houses to be built on
the property, each one would be occupied by 6-8 children,
house parents, and aunties (relief nannies). We hope to
have each house become self sufficient. Each house would
have a garden and be responsible for maintaining it. Also
9-12 varieties of fruit bearing trees grow in this area,
several of which are already on the property. We also want
to develop a life skills training center for our
children, a soccer field, a playground, a community center,
and a new bible school.
Besides pioneering the new children's center, Teisa and I
will be teaching in the bible school, visiting existing
churches (discipling and training), assisting in
evangelistic outreaches, and providing leadership and
direction for our existing base. This base currently
includes a preschool and drop in center for underprivileged
children, a feeding program, evangelism ministries, and a
bible school.
Meet Jean and Teisa!
