Exciting News!

In the last few weeks we have made a lot of progress in the search for a permanent facility for our Ministry. By God's grace, we have been able to raise the funds to purchase a 10 acre property in the greater Austin area. It will be called LIFEHOUSE.

This property will enable us to fulfill the vision that the Lord has placed on our hearts. It will provide facilities for our LIFE Training program and also housing for staff members and interns.

LIFE Training provides an environment where young homeless people can begin their journey off the streets, receive personal healing, grow in their relationship with God and discover God's calling on their lives.

A key to LIFE Training is that young people who used to live on the streets stay with us, become a part of our fellowship and participate in our daily activities. We encourage them to embrace the Christian faith. When they do so, their lives are transformed and they find true meaning and purpose. All those who have participated in LIFE training have seen a tremendous change in their lives and relationships.

LIFEHOUSE will be our ministry's headquarter, where in addition to our administrative offices we will train short team outreach teams that will be sent to other US cities as well as to foreign countries.

We plan to purchase additional mobile homes for housing LIFE Training participants, as well as staff members. We are expecting each unit to cost between $30,000-$40,000. We have more detailed information on our line-item budget plan.Our total fundraising goal is to raise $120,000 for a fully developed property.

We are excited about all the wonderful things that are happening, and to see that the vision that the Lord has given us many years ago is becoming a reality. To reach this goal, we are looking for people who would like to partner with us for funding and preparing our future facilities.
