Dear friends,
I’m happy to report to you that our Bali Training Center
English language and Computer training programs are running smoothly and have
exceeded any expectations we may have had regarding participation by the local
village children. Officially starting with 28 children in April, we have grown
to 87 registered children attending classes now.
We have faith that we will be able to meet the additional
monthly expenses necessary to hire teachers.
The seeds of our faith were confirmed when we proceeded to
build our Bali Training Center and were blessed with the funding to pay the 5
year lease. And again in February of this year when a loyal supporter of A
Heart For Children answered our prayers by funding our special widows ministry
for 1 year …after receiving the following email from me:
Nearly two years ago, after witnessing how difficult life is
here in the surrounding rural villages for senior abandoned wives and
widowed women, I began helping an older Hindu widow buy food,
medicine and personal care items. That simple donation of $5 a
week from my personal funds grew to supporting 13 older women in 2012
and that support continues today.
I just couldn't get these scriptures out of my mind when I
met the widow's. James 1:27 ...Pure Religion ....... is
this...... to look out for orphans and widows in their distress…
etc. The Spirit would not let me be satisfied with honoring only
the orphan part of the verse. And
1 John 3:17 If anyone has material
possessions and sees his brother in need
but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
I have nearly used up my personal savings when
furnishing the Training Center and supporting other ministries over the years
including these deserving widows. I want to visit the U.S. to
register my wife Tati with the Social Security Adm. . If we could find another
way to continue the widow's support, I would save $260 a
month and be able to apply those funds towards the purchase of
Airline Tickets.
These women are our family now. It's such a joy to be able make life a little easier for them in their declining years and they are so humbly grateful.
If you are willing to support the Widow's Ministry please notify me by email, so the support is not used in the children's general fund.

It’s events like these that have built our Faith and led us
on into the unknown plans He has for us……. allowing AHFC to create a beautiful “Oasis
of Care and Learning” in a village on Bali Island and to be able to support
orphanages and a day care center…and to provide funds for children’s hospital
and educational expenses and funding for the rescue and placement of unwanted children….all
because of your faithful support. What a joy!
Thank you all for your encouraging e-mails, your prayers and
your generous financial contributions.

Before and after classes the kiddo’s have free time to
socialize and be challenged
All dressed up and attending Church. These 3 widows live in a remote village
compound 20K away.They raise pigs on the land owner’s property in exchange for
food and a small sleeping room. Once a week the church bus picks them up and brings
them to Klungkung for Sunday services. When we first started supporting them
they said this is the first time in 15years that they had any money. They, like most of the women we help cry
openly when we give them support… so we are careful to conceal our giving. It’s such a blessing to be able have this
ministry. The rewards are immediate and
lasting.
