Dreams come through

It started with a vision one and a half year ago. We saw the children and the families in the village of Sarkani. A village dominated by hopelessness. There is about seventy people living in the village, eighteen of them are children. Most adults have alcohol problems and are unemployed.
Several of the grey concrete houses are without water, toilets and heating. The only water coming inte those apartments is from the leaking roofs.

We saw in the vision the grey houses turning into colours. We saw a house for children and families in Sarkani. A house with heating, showers, toilets and washing machines, a childrens library and computers.

We had only the vision. No money or other resources. But the Lord, who gave the vision, had resources. Through several big donations it has been possible to build the house. We bought an old house in bad condition, we drilled 115 meter for clean water and now the house is there.
Wednesday August 3 we had the official opening of the house. The junior soldiers from Sarkani read from the Bible and sang a song about building your house on a solid ground. The mayor was touched and had a speech in the full hall. God is good!
