The "Rescue Center" For the Ladies of the Congo!



After months of work by lots of great people, we can officially share with you that a home has been purchased for the ladies & children of Jehovah Jireh in the Congo! Lord willing, for years to come, this facility will serve as a "Rescue Center" for abandoned women and their children.

Below are pictures of the Rescue Center. Remember, this is the Congo when you look at the pictures. However, we think this new home for the ladies is better than what we expected. Here's what the home entails based on a report I received from Caleb Bislow...
  • A partially walled-in compound (home)
  • 2 completed buildings and one almost finished.
  • The big building use to be a restaraunt and has three rooms. The building in the back has two rooms as well
  • There is a new outhouse (the tall building on the rocks behind the home)
  • The floors appear to be cement
  • The doors/windows appear to lock
  • It is not near the slums or in a congested area making it possible to expand
  • It is next to the airport and walking distance from the city center making it a "safe place"
  • It would be ok for the women to worship there without neighborhood problems.
Maybe the best news is that there is enough money left over in donations to add electricity to the home, make basic improvements and buy beds. God is good!
