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.
