Childrens House
- We are building a real home in Riobamba, Ecuador. The first two houses, which we completed in October 2014, currently serve as a regular drop-in center for around 60 children, providing lunch, homework help, and spiritual children's programs.
- The care of these Immanuel children is made possible by financing the children's places. Through these regular donations, we enable these children to receive constant support for a sound school and vocational education. In addition, they and their families also receive pastoral, psychological, and social care from our local staff.
- The Immanuel houses not only care for children, but also serve as a meeting place for a small church community for worship services and other programs.
- We regularly conduct health campaigns.
- Through these measures, the children experience and learn Christian and ethical values.
- A central part of our work is the intensive support of parents—through training, personal home visits, practical help with authorities, and support in acute emergency situations—so that change reaches not only children but entire families.
outlook
Our vision is to construct a multifunctional building for the children and also for the church that is being built there, as our existing buildings are already insufficient.
Demand exceeds our current capacity, which is why we have a waiting list and are already working on expanding our facilities to enable even more children to attend the children's home in the future. To achieve this, we naturally need additional loyal donors to support this expansion.
Unfortunately, we have had to put this vision on hold repeatedly in recent years because we have had to compensate for increased costs and other financial burdens. What we need now is:
- Prayer and intercession for the expansion of Immanuel and support for the construction of the building, which we estimate will cost approximately €200,000.
- Loyal regular donors to secure the existing places for children and their expansion
- Ongoing support for the missionary family who is now on site
