Update on Housing Project for Abandoned Women in Congo

Having emailed back and forth with Caleb Bislow a number of times in the last few days, I thought I'd give you an update. Caleb's main contact for this project is going to go to the Congo this week to look at some potential homes for the women. He will be attempting to locate a potential building to purchase and working to nail down an exact price that we can purchase the building for.

I'm also waiting to hear a few other details from Caleb that he is actively seeking answers to before unleashing this venture full steam ahead. Stay tuned to this blog for further updates, as it will serve as "ground zero" on all points of communication as we work to raise the needed $10,000 for these abandoned women in the Congo.

3 of these women were raped by rebel armies while going out to collect wood.
3 of these women were abandoned by their husbands and families because they were raped.
1 was raped by 5 men at once.

2 of these women run a ministry called Jehovah Jireh.
2 of these women are seeking to provide housing, healing and hope to 15 women who are tragic victims of the D.R.C.'s continual conflict.
