Family-Based Child Care takes a big step forward . . .
In May 2023, 5 village churches in remote areas of SE Asia took on the sponsorship for a child in their community with food assistance, school fees and family pastoral care. This is a "win-win" for the children, the churches, and the FBCC Program.
These children are currently enrolled in AFO's Family-Based Child Care Program and sponsored by a donor in the West. A program coordinator visits the child and their family once a month, after spending nearly a day of motorbike and/or walking to reach the remote village. Now the child and their family will be followed up on by their own pastor and on a more regular basis. These churches are expanding their ministry vision "to look after orphans and widows in their distress." (James 1:27).
And the Family-Based Child Care Program can continue to grow. We can accept 5 more children who are waiting for the opportunity to go to school and need better nutrition.

In June of 2021, our Rainbow Children's Home facility was shut down. Even though this was a devastating event, a thoughtful family took great care of the space, which has recently been transformed into Destiny Home! This location will function as a residential home for older teen girls and young women. While living in their remote, village homes, they were not afforded the ability to go to high school. However, thanks to Destiny Home, this will be an exciting reality!
UPDATE APRIL 2023 This year's high school graduates have returned to their home villages, and can now qualify for good jobs. Thank you to their sponsors who have faithfully prayed and donated over the years. |
