Project Letter: ID-231

Here's a letter from Ecel's center in Indonesia! All the photos come from Compassion's website.

I am pastor Stenly K. I am the lead pastor of the protestant church (ID-231) where we are ministering to Ecel. I want to sincerely thank you for your kind heart to support Ecel and this ministry. Your support and that of all the other sponsors has helped us to run the program and helped over 300 of the neediest children at the center. Without you, we wouldn't be able to do this.

There are many activities that the children do at the center. All of their activities are based on the holistic development curriculum from Compassion. The program is centered on the four holistic areas of development, including the spiritual, physical, intellectual, and socio-emotional areas. Our curriculum is very good, for it allows the children to study in a fun way whether it is indoor activities or outdoor activities. We also care for the children's physical health. We give them nutritious food that is needed for them to grow.

The center's mission is to raise up a generation of young Christians blessing our community. Currently, we are compiling a program to help the children's families to earn some money. It is a kind of income generating program. We raise pigs nearby the area where the center is located. Pork meat is very competitive in business. There is quite a lot of space with waters and unused pens. So this is a good place to be done. The progress is quite good. Through this program, we are positive that we can help the children's families to add more income to support the families so that the children can focus on studying.

From our deepest heart, we are thankful to you and pray that God will bless you. In these difficult days, we really appreciate your contribution and support of Ecel. You have changed his life from a very bad situation into a better one. Before, the children at the center had no health care and could not go to school. They could not play or interact with other children their age. They did not attend church and did not know Jesus. Now all of that has changed. Because of this, it is a joy to see the enthusiasm of the children and the families. May Jesus bless you abundantly!
