Celebration Children’s Home

After the earthquake in 2010 Joy felt burdened to open a small children’s home for some of the kids orphaned or abandoned after the quake.

We began to pray for a location and provision to start the home. God opened the door for a great location and then sent partners to help with startup costs. We now are able to provide a loving surrogate home for about 15 precious children. They range in age from 2-16.

This home has become a source of the greatest blessings and deepest heartaches of our lives. We get to take in kids from the depths of poverty and despair beyond many the worst nightmare of most Americans. We get to see them blossom and get to go to school and have people love on them and see them change. But we also see children die. We see mothers abandon their kids from of lack of food. we see kids struggle with the loss of their parents and families and have no way to console them. We had a three year old cerebral palsy son die, a four month old whose mother died after her birth die of unknown sickness, and a precious twenty year old diabetic daughter die in my arms from complications of diabetes.

You can help us with the home in many ways. Visit the social networking site by clicking here or the link on our home page. Browse through the kids and pick a couple to pray for and correspond with. You can also give towards the operation costs of the home. Thank you for your love and concern for these little ones.
