would, and their basic survival needs such as food, clothing, a home
and when this is all in place we aim to focus on Education, Health,
Welfare, spiritual growth, and an exciting opportunity to rebuild our
community within our cultural heritage with pride in our hearts.
Thus raising children with a dream of a future, as good citizens, who
can strive to rebuild our precious lands. We all must have a dream,
and it is our desire that our children can dream also, in a safe and
beautiful world. But without you all, we are as nothing. But a raindrop
in the sky, waiting on the sun to rise. And dry up all the rain, as
feeding our crops to give us nourishment for a new season to begin.
And thus, a child has a new beginning, a new day, and a future in our
beautiful land. We have a dream, please let it be yours also, and support our children today.

God became one of us through Jesus, and through his blood we have become worthy of God for He has washed our sins away. Our heavenly Father has redeemed us through the Lamb. We have been sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit of our Lord God Almighty. Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone has intricately placed each of us in a wonderful and holy temple that serves as a dwelling place of God in the Holy Spirit. Our Holy Father is worthy of your time and service in the vineyard of the Lord.

The Lord loves you and He is with you. Who can stand against the Lord of Hosts? No one could and no one ever will. Take heart in knowing that the Great I Am is He who stands in your favor.
