start an orphanage

i want to start an orphanage….but i dont know how to start work for orphange…can anybody help me????

After traveling in Mexico for over 2 decades and visiting old missions, deep sea fishing, and hiking we have come to believe it’s time to give back. It is our fervent hope that we can build a children’s home through a 501c3 and eventually develop it into a self-sustaining orphanage with several small businesses run by the children themselves. With it’s own store, b & b, cafe? second handstore? the children would be paid for their work and learn to make a living before they ever become adults. All profits go back into the non-profit trust fund. We have seen many churches and orphanages that are dependent on donations. We believe self-sustainment and self worth are long overdue in this area.
We are hoping to find cheap or donated land in the Tiajauna, Ensenada, Tecate Triangle. We are selling our landscape small landscape business and most of our possesions and saving up construction materials. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. May the Lord guide us/you on our journey to help his children.

I’ve always dreamed of starting an orphanage…

Though it would have to be fairly small, I would want it to be a place full of music and learning and nature. It would be more of a home than an orphanage, really.

I’ve always pictured it being in the country, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms… and It would have a huge garden. It would be a vegetarian household and we would live on the garden in the backyard =]

It sounds a little bit too much like a fairytale… but I think one day I’ll be able to do it

I am from Democratic Republic of Congo former Zaire and live in USA. My desire is to build an orphanage, in my hometown Buta which has many orphans who need help from all of us.
My name is Dieudonne Etinde

On April 4, 2002 I woke up at Western Illinois University. Yes, I tended to wake up every other day as well, (and apparently did today) but this day was jump started.

The previous night I had been up late still pouring over the Bible by 3 AM and never knew I had even fallen asleep.  I had dreampt Isaiah 40:1. "Comfort, comfort my people says your God" (NIV, I think...)

Anyway, Isaiah was given that to (as the verse would indicate) comfort the Israelites with. There on into the subsequent chapters and verses he undertakes to inject a Holy boldness on the part of the LORD by being used as the mouthpoece of Jehova Shalom. I have already digressed from what I intended to share here, but it lays a piece of a patchwork foundation for you.

In 2003, I was sent to the Dominican Republic as part of a 30 person team (I am not a rememberer of details…) to the Dominican Republic where I fall off a waterfall and am forced to sit down and hang out with the kids at the orphanage – something WAY out of my comfort zone. I had been a camp counselor for yerars and instructed Saftey Town as a youngster myself, but that had been before I aquired a social anxiety issue…(I am HEALED in Jesus name) In my usual obstanate way, however, I still did some pick axe swinging to help my fellow week long missions warriors.

It was because of the times that I had to “sit on the sidelines,” however, that I would be still enough to begin to feel the LORD clarifying that call that he gave me by way of the Isaiah Dream. One child in particular sought me out. I would sit on the rock wall of a little thatched roof out building and wish that I could participate in more of the construction project. I had my foot wrapped from the fall and although I was in great pain I still swung that pick axe and tapped rebar into place as we dug out and formed the concrete stoop and walkways tothe new chapel that was recently installed.

In those times that I was more obedient – the missions pastor felt that I would compromise the team by playing through the pain – I just sat there and watched and journeled andd prayed. Little Moises, or Moses would come up to me as I sat there and although my Spanish wasn’t all too polished and he spoke no English, we gt along just fine. That injury and being slowed down a bit also allowed for one of the greatest experiences of my life to take place.

The missionary who ran the orphanage was leaving one morning to go pick up two little girls whose mother was out of the picture and whose father could barely support himself as a coffe picker. The trip up the mountain revealed picturesque greenery and narrow dirt roads. After we had seemingly climed the entire mountain in the van, we finally stopped outside of a little one room shack that had a dirt floor and one diagonally placed board tacked about waist high off of the ground. That was the kitchen.

Little Rosana and Fiordaliza, 5 and 7 eyars old came out and dined on some crackers that the missionary gave them. For all I knew, and by the eagerness in which they gobbled them up I surmised that this may have been the best meal they had had in a while.

To this day, I still get the occaisional letter or drawing and photos of thwe girls, now 11 and 13 letting me know how they are doing. I know that God has a call on their lives and hope to be able to see them again and introduce them to my wife, who I met during my next trip.

In 2004 I was asked by my missions professor in Bible college to accompany him to Chile. Again, God made it clear that I was to go by the miraculaous ways in which he provided for that trip. Before I left, a woman in the church I was attending told me that I would meet my wife there. Although I was laughing on the inside and skeptical, I sure enough did just that.

I would love to open an orphanage. It has been on my heart for a while now almost 2 years. I have had people tell me that the devil is just trying to make me think I’m being called to do Gods will. I really don’t think the devil is telling me this. I believe it is God. My husband keeps on telling me well its funny that God don’t give me the vision or tell me. Which at the time I know it was God I was seeking him and I felt his holly presence. But with all of these people trying to discourage me. It makes me wonder. If it is God which I’m almost sure it is I would love to do his will. My husband says doors will open if thats what he wants us to do. But I know we have to step out and act out on faith. That is why I’m trying to find out what is all involved. Also would God call me to do this without telling my husband? What should I do? I have been praying so hard to find out. I just seem to get so discouraged by people. Asking why would you want to do that? Then Plus my husband. I do know that Gods will is not allways easy.

My dream is to build an orphanage home for street children in the Capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. I do not know how to go by doing it though. I already opened up an account for the orphanage but i do not know how to go by funding it. I want to keep my dream alive pls give me any information about what steps i should take.

Thanks,
KJ
