In 1987 a German Lady named
Anglika had a Vision in a time of prayer where she saw a child
sitting on the floor in front of a wall with its hand lifted up
saying:" Don't just pray for us but come and personally help
us."
After 7 years of preparation she
was sent by a church named: "Christus Centrum Ruhrgebiet in
Duisburg" in February 1994 to Columbia.

Goals
Having different houses. - In
each house there will be 12 children with 4 leaders, living as
a family together, going to school etc. They will stay with us
until they can live their own life. Kids who do not have
parents can connect with them, and go back to them if it is
possible. Others can be adopted if there is no family member
who wants to have them.
Each child has 2-3 monthly
supporters. If you want to help a child regularly please tell
us. We will send You more information on how it works. Thank
You very much for being interested in our ministry in
Colombia
Year 2004 - Actually we are
helping 40 children. Now we have a hairdresser shop for one and
a half years. This year we are planning to open a bakery and 2
more houses. We want to help many more children with the help
of God.
