Mission 1.27

"Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."
-James 1.27

This is the house that the Hills' are trying to purchase in Colombia for the Daycare Project in Coronado, Colombia. It is approximately 1000 sq feet. Small in size, but what makes this property so valuable is the amount of land that comes along with it. You see, most houses are built on small lots with NO outdoor space, but this house has plenty of room outside on the side and in the back for adding square footage to the building, plus have ample room to fence in a secured play area for the children. You will seldom find areas outside for the children to play. The only times you see playground equipment is usually at city parks.

The cost of the house is ONLY about $13K, and of course, there would be costs for remodel and keep up. This is so cheap! To be able to provide a multipurpose building to care for the children during the day, provide them protection from the elements, feed them, and give them spiritual and educational training, AND then use this property as a church in the evening time!!! WOW! $13K is NOTHING for God's people! I believe this was a "God-inspired" idea for Coronado; I believe God will provide the resources for it.


God has strategically placed Bro. Milton Hill in this area for this time and this purpose. Please pray with me that He have favor with all those he come in contact with and people will begin to catch the same vision as he and begin to also support him!
This is the back view --plenty of room to grow!


Also, Brooke, Bro. Milton's wife, tells me that Compassion International in Colombia has considered helping them as well, and may begin to help them feed the children and also provide a small offering to the future workers at the daycare! God is good!

This picture as well as the very first picture are of a little girl around age 7 from Florencia. She and her mom and 3 other siblings left Florencia after her Mother's husband was kidnapped and later found dead. This family's house then burned down. I am not certain cause of fire. The family left Caqueta and went to stay with the grandmother who lives in Coronado. Milton says now, "...they have nothing..." I cannot wait to get there to hug this baby girl!
Brooke says she was working with the children one service and asked them,"What should we name ourselves?" (the children's church). The baby pictured above said, "How about 'Children of the King' because that's what my mother says we are." She is so smart! She IS a daughter of the King! A Princess! I can't wait to meet her and her mom and siblings! Please pray for this family. This baby represents the orphaned child. This is ONLY ONE child...there are many out there.
Please consider making a difference in the life of an orphan. If you would like to give to this ministry, please contact Milton Hill at hillministries@gmail.com
OR just email me! Thanks and Dios te Bendiga!

I just got new pictures of our Compassion child (he lives in Colombia). He is now 17! I can hardly believe it! I hope the Hills can hook up with Compassion . . . it is such a fantastic ministry!

Also, when we were in Colombia last year, (in Bogota, before going to B'manga) we met a group of people from Compassion who were visiting projects. It was really cool!
