YOU ARE INVITED.....
PERU CELEBRATION SET FOR MAY 1
 
Project Restoration will host a "We Love Peru" Celebration and Dinner on Sunday, May 1, 2011 at 6:00 p.m.  This event will be held in the Fellowship Hall at Lake Gaston Christian Life Centre in Ebony, Virginia (1411 Robinson Ferry Road, one mile east of the Ebony Fire Department).
 
The celebration will focus on the wonderful support from area churches, businesses, individuals and groups (including Saint Paul's College SIFE Team and the Southside Combined Choir) that led to the completion of a new home for the Nancy Cole Women's Home in Lima, Peru.  You will see pictures of the ministry at the home to the desperate women and teen girls of Peru.  Various groups will present updates of the current status of this ministry and plans for the future, including a Mission's Trip from this area to Peru in August and exciting new training programs at the home.
 
There is no admission to this event.  Each family is asked to bring one main covered dish and one side dish/dessert.  We will provide authentic Peruvian food for you to sample.
 
If you need further information, contact Dale or Sheryl Baird at 434-636-2808 or access www.projectrestoration.net.  You are encouraged to participate in this celebration event.

October 24, 2010

The Nancy Cole Women's Home in Lima, Peru  is alive and well.  Pastor Lilliam, who has been on a leave of absence due to health reasons, is resuming the directorship of the home on Tuesday, October 26, 2010.

We thank the transition team, headed by Dr. Nancy Tolentine and provided by Camino de Vida, for their work during the transition time.  We toured the facility today, met with the residents, and talked with them concerning the future plans for this ministry.

The home will now be under the covering of Project Restoration. The final meeting of the Camino de Vida Board will be held on October 26.  Camino de Vida will no longer provide any oversight or support for the home.   A new Board of Directors will be appointed this week and the governing policies, including the new Document of Goverance and mission statement, will be developed.  All assets of the home, including building and contents, will be trasferred to Project Restoration and will be handled by the new Board of Directors.  New intake  procedures will be developed and implemented.  The goal is to raise the number of residents to 20-25 by Christmas.

One of the significant challenges will be raising an adequate budget to operate the home.  Your prayers and support are needed so that the number of residents can be quickly increased.  There are many girls and women who need this intervention.

Several major maintenance issues will need to be addressed, including hot water access, painting, carpet replacement in the rec room, and ceiling tile replacement projects.  An itemized list will be posted.  If you can bring a team to work at the home, or if you can provide funds to assist with these projects, we will help you facilitate that process.

Pray for the following residents of the home (first name and age):
1. Elizabeth - 46
2. Wendy - 27
3. Julyssa - 27
4. Carmen - 22
5. Susy - 16
6. Aracellie - 15
7. Fiorella - 14.

We will keep you updated as new developments occur.  Plan a visit soon to the Nancy Cole Women's Home.

The residents at the Nancy Cole Women's Home are always ready to welcome visiting mission's teams to minister at the home.  We encourage you to organize a ministry team that could spend several days or a week at the home.  This allows your team to develop a spiritual bond with the girls and indicates your love for them, which expresses the love of Christ toward them.  We can suggest various ways that you could help this ministry, especially during the reorganization.  You can use your own creativity and the strengths of your team members to design practical, helpful and uplifting activities.  Interpreters can be secured to assist with communication.  Project Restoration will be glad to assist you in the planning and organizing of the trip.  If your team will be involved in other ministries while in Lima, plan to spend one day or even a few hours with the girls.  You will be a blessing and you will be blessed!  Contact us at 434-636-2808 in the US.

Many changes are taking place at the Nancy Cole Women's Home.  We will post new developments as they occur and will be moving to a new web site in the near future.  Your prayers and support are needed at this critical time in the ministry of the home.  The home will no longer be affiliated with the Camino de Vida Church but will come under the covering of Project Restoration.  Pastor Lilliam, who has been on a leave of absence due to medical reasons, is back as the director of the ministry.  Many decisions concerning the reorganization will be made during the week of October 24-31, 2010.  As new plans are announced, including the appointment of a new Board of Directors, they will be posted.

Monthly financial support is needed so that the ministry can touch the lives of more girls and women who desperately need to know and experience the restoration power of God.  You can contact us in the following ways:

1. Call 434-636-2808.

We are excited to announce that the residents of the Nancy Cole Women's Home now have access to educational classes that will allow them to complete their secondary school grades.  Three teachers come to home three days each week to teach Communication and Language, Math, and Civics.  The teachers are provided free from an existing boarding school in Lima.  The home has to provide school supplies, copying services and transportation.  PTL!

We have just received a donation of funds to purchase a xerox machine and computers for the Library/Lab to enhance the schooling.  What a difference this will make in the lives of the teen girls.  At present, 29 girls are enrolled in the classes.  Diagnostic testing has been completed to determine the reading and math levels of each student.

Funds have been pledged to hire a dewing instructor for the Sewing Lab.  This will allow the new machines to be used in a systemic manner to give the residents life skills for the future.  They can also make items to sell for the home.  Also, funds have been provided to increase security at the home.

The greatest need at the present time is to provide more monthly support for regular operations.  We need more sponsors for the "Adopt a Bed" Project ($50 per month) and more one-time donations for operations.  As you plan your budget for 2009, consider a monthly contribution to assist the wonderful ministry at the Nancy Cole Women's Home.  Encourage your church to place the home in the monthly mission's budget.  We will be glad to provide promotional materials for you and your church.

God is still moving in Lima!  Please contact us if you would like to assist with the "Adopt a Bed" Project or a special project.  If you have questions or ideas, please contact us.
