We have officially reached the goal of raising $380,000 to power up the Village.  The contractor has been notified and he expects to begin working on it next week.  This is huge for the future of the Tree of Life because it means every new building will have no problem getting electricity or water.  So when kids move in this summer, there will be running water.  When the school opens, the lights will be on for reading. And when we have Camp LIFE on the hilltop, there will be music playing.

We still have infrastructure needs that we will face as the Village continues to grow such as internal roads.  If you did not get a chance to donate to bring power to the Village, then you can still help us out with other infrastructure needs.  Learn more about the infrastructure campaign»

Thanks so much to everyone who donated to make this happen.  If you are coming to Camp LIFE this summer then you will get to see firsthand the results of your giving.  Please continue to pray and give what you can to make a better future for the children of Zambia.

The Father’s Heart sponsored kids had a great time at their Christmas party. For most of them it was the only gift they received this year so they were hugely blessed. Be checking your mail in the coming weeks as we’ll be sending out pictures to those of you who paid for your child to attend. Thanks so much for enabling us to give these kids a great Christmas. Here is a small sample of the 750 kids who attended this year’s Christmas Party
