The year 2009 is a fruitful and blessed year for Hope House. Our Lord Jesus Christ’s unlimited grace has been showered to the ministry and to our family. He reminded us of His love and faithfulness as we witnessed one miracle after another happening in our life. Great is the Lord’s faithfulness, all glory belongs to Him.
We would like to share with you the highlights of God’s faithfulness in SY 2009-2010: Five students graduated in primary school, and one from secondary school. Praise God for His provisions. The children were all healthy. God protected them in their coming-in and going-out of the hostel. Some children excelled in academics and sports. Their spiritual life continued to grow in the area of praying and worship. Our main goal is to raise good followers of Jesus. Our hostel parents (Kitisak & Koy) and full-time tutor (Niwet) really blessed Hope House with their dedication in taking care of the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of our children.
At the village, the school has been an avenue for the Lord’s word to be sown; the people’s hearts were opened by God to hear, listen and understand the message of Jesus’ love and God’s plan of salvation for everyone who believes. Early this year, we started doing ‘house church’ in the village; we completed the three-year curriculum for K1-K3 for the village Day Care. Last year, we had 27 students and 5 of them were accepted in Hope House. For the year 2009-2010, we had 39 students. The Day Care wall was painted very nicely with inspiration from Noah’s Ark.
This new school term is a year of new beginning bringing us to another level of faith. We are now on our 7th year. As we continue to give the students our best care we would like to provide our 20 children with new mattresses, pillows and beddings to replace those that they have been using since 2003.
Five new students who graduated from the primary school (they used to attend the school that is just across the Children’s Home) will need to move to the government secondary school which is a bit far from Hope House. We need a second hand school transport (to make like a songtew) that will bring them to their school every day. The second hand pick-up truck will costs from 150,000 Baht and more. Or, these ten students need to pay 300 Baht per person each month for their transport. That’s an additional 3,000 Baht/monthly expenses if we don’t have our own school transport.
We have 1 good computer in Hope House. With 10 high school students we need additional 2 units of computers so all of them could have an access to computer.
The student(s) need several sets of school uniform: a) skirt and blouse/short and polo shirt, white socks and black shoes; b)Physical Education uniform; c)Boy/Girl Scout uniform d) Friday uniform- Thai clothes. A set of school uniform is really a big help to us and will bring joy to each student.
We need water tank in the boys dorm that costs 10,000 Baht. The separate second hand pick-up truck to be use as school transport (like this songtew) costs from 150,000 to 250,000 Baht
| 20 sets of mattresses with pillow, pillow case, bed sheet, and mosquito net (1,800 baht each) |
building need this especially now that water supply become limited.(See ictures below of our needs.)
