This morning I believe I found a great theme verse for the Home of Purpose.  It is 2nd Thessalonians 1:11-12, and this is how it reads in my NIV study Bible:

With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.  We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We do pray together for the girls in the Home of Purpose, that God would fulfill all of the good thoughts he has towards them, because we know they are more numerous!

There are some needs that the Home of Purpose has right now, that we would like to share with you, in case you would like to do something practical to help!

Need:  Gutters for a water collection system
Description: Currently at the Home of Purpose, they do not have running water. The girls have to fetch water which is very time consuming. The do have a large water storage tank, but they need gutters on the buildings to funnel the rain water into the tank. These gutters will save them a lot of valuable time, so they can focus on school work instead.
Cost: $500

Need: Installation & curtains for the windows
Description: The girls need privacy; curtains would help.
Cost: $350
Need: New seat cushions
Description: We bought used living room furniture for the Home of Purpose; the cushions need to be replaced.
Cost:$250

Maybe you can help meet one of these needs for the girls?  Even if you are not able to donate the full amount, any amount towards these items would be a blessing.  Please visit our giving page and under the One Time Donation you can select Home of Purpose from the drop down menu, or if you would like to give by check you may mail donations to our office.  Just indicate “Home of Purpose” in the memo area.

Thank you for praying with us & believing with us for God’s great purposes for these girls, and thank you to those of you who can help make their home a little more comfortable and useful.  We look forward to sharing with you great stories of victories from these girls’ lives!

God Bless You,
