AND THIS IS OUR PRAYER FOR OUR GIRLS:
"That your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
so that you may be able to discern what is best
and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,
filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--
to the glory and praise of God."
Philippians 1: 9-11

REGARDING JULIAH



Hellen heard from Juliah's brother in Nakuru. Juliah and the rest of her family have been reunited and are safe at the police post. Praise God!

For your information, when Juliah, who is an orphan, needed a safe home during her time as a student at Rafiki, Hellen opened her home and "adopted" Juliah into her family. Juliah accepts Hellen as "Mum" and calls Rebecca, Hellen's daughter, her sister. Hellen is Luyha and Juliah is Kikuyu. Those two tribes are in conflict with each other during the post-election instability, but in our Lord's miraculous ways, Juliah, Hellen and Rebecca have become one family in Him.

WHAT IS FAITH HOUSE MINISTRIES?

How do we explain what Faith House is? It's a safe house, a shelter, a home, so much more than a building . . . Faith House is a Christian ministry designed to be family for African young women who have not known peaceful home situations, and to provide opportunities for education and training for these young women, who would, in many cases, be struggling to survive.

As in ideal families, Faith House seeks to provide a setting in which the young women are nurtured and encouraged to develop their full potential. In a home environment, they learn family dynamics, receiving training and encouragement to live together at peace and to solve problems with creativity and forgiveness. They are valued and learn the value and dignity of individuals. They are treated with respect and learn to treat others with respect. They see honesty, stewardship and gracious manners modeled, and are trained to make such values a part of their lives.

The young women who are a part of the Faith House Ministries are given opportunities to continue with academic and/or vocational training according to their individual gifts and interests. In some cases, the education will include provision of boarding school and perhaps even university education.

Faith House Ministries seeks to invest in the lives of African young women in such a way that they will become self-sufficient contributors to the welfare of their families, their communities and their country.
