T F C C E P T I N GN E W C H L L E N G E STHE INTEGRATED LIFE PROJECT (ministeringto the Whole-Man) accepted th e challenge to assume responsibility together with the Taguatinga ChristianChurch,

for th e EL SHADDAI CHRISTIAN home, a care-center orphanage. I n J anua ry , we took in s ix children and twohelperswhile th e other 69 childrenwere placed either backwith relatives or in temporarysubstitute homeswhile a fullreform of our former camp grounds was undertaken. OnApril 8th, th e doors were opened for 32 more children andwe pray tha t we will eventually have room fo r the remaining 37 chi ldren. Daily requests come for others to beaccepted.

These children come from very poor and often brokenfamilies who are unable to care for them. They ire undernourished and very slow in their school learning. We wereable to place most of th em in a country school two milesaway in th e afternoons,but in th emornings al l th e childrenare together and with few counselors, i t is difficult to helpsome with their homework, others with chores and alsosupervise the younger ones. Those who are helping out ascounselors are dedicated Ch ri st ia ns a nd a re sacrificiallygiving of their love and work.

Food donations come from several places, but not al lthat is needed such as milk, sugar, juice, meats, breadand cereal. There are expenses with medicine, school mater ia ls a n d o t he r needs All th e ch i ld r en come w i t h lice a n dworms . . many have no shoes or toothbrushes or combs.Several ladies from the Brasilia church are voluntarily takinghome sacks of clothing to be washed andmended whilewaiting for th e laundry to be set up.

There are m any challenges yet to be met, besidesraising the over 800 monthly budget. One is an all-purpose bui ld ing to be used as classrooms, offices, restrooms, clinic and worship center . and to begin buildingour individual homes for substitute parents wi th 8-10chi ldren
