CYDC. This year there are 55 students. The families of all of these have problems such as: 1. The parents are poor, live far from the town where there is not a school or the parents have separated and don’t want them. Some are orphans with no relatives willing to help. 2. Parents are in jail and the children are left to fend for themselves. 3. Some were sexually abused. Others are in danger of being sold into prostitution. These children come from families who worship evil spirits and/or the ancestral spirits. When the children come to us they begin to learn about God, salvation, many accept Christ quickly. Others have serious emotional problems that must be worked through first. But God’s love draws them, most accept the Lord while living here and some even dedicate their lives to serve the Lord and go on to Bible school for. Because we were able to re-open this home on the Right, on the last short term trip some of these girls called upon the name of the Lord. We even had to add on a kitchen for one of the home because so many have been able to come and live with us!"
