We are opening a brand new Dream Centre in Mayurbhanj County of Northern Orissa – # 19 in our goal of putting at least one dream center in each of the 30 counties of this big State. 33 desperate and destitute girls are eager to come in, find food and education and live in a secure place of love and belonging. 3 more counties have been identified and directors interviewed and they await a green signal from me. I am waiting on God to provide funding and sponsors who will stand with us in this endeavor. Four new Dream Centres are under construction… 8000 sq ft two-storied, L-shaped buildings that will house 200 kids at a time until Jesus comes. These are shining lighthouses in the darkness of Eastern India. And they house some of the finest diamonds in the area… kids who dominate their Schools in Sports, Academics and Fine Arts. Rescued out of sexual or bonded slavery, these kids, given a chance, have proven their worth… I love them. Two of our girls who came to us in early 2000, at our Tihidi project have just graduated with their Bachelor’s degrees. They passed with distinction! They have joined as teachers at our City of Refuge for lepers. (We have our own School there since the local community shunned our kids who parents are lepers). I am very proud of these two girls… they will never ever go back into poverty, which seemed to be their lot in life… but God had His people intervene in these precious lives. These two beautiful girls represent my vision for 10,000 tribal kids to be set free from pain and poverty… into a life of loving God and making a good living. I press on for the prize…
