En-Gedi Children’s Home September 2026 Update

En-Gedi Children’s Home - June 2026 Update

Sending our greetings and love to all of you, our friends and supporters this September. Our En-Gedi family has continued to thrive and daily, absorbing God’s blessings for health, peace and joy. We are all well and grateful to God for all of you who keep us in prayers and thoughts. Where we have had challenges, we have constantly been reminded that God our creator and sustainer is always present with us in all the storms and riding on His wings, we have been victorious. I trust you have the same testimony.

Looking at our children’s pictures recently, my mind went back to the situations in which I found some of them when I went to visit and rescue them. Some were isolated and lonely, filthy, sickly and just there – staring into nothingness. When I later opened my Bible, I saw these words and smiled at them – “God sets the lonely in families….” (Psalms 68:6a). I am amazed and humbled at the way God works. We are one big and happy family – Glory to His Name for giving our children a loving and caring family.

Our social support group has grown to 25 moms, all with one or two challenged children. Although we have not been able to all meet physically, we have, through social media. There are huge challenges with some, but the fact that we are now organized, we will attain our goal – sharing experiences and being each other’s encouragers.

“God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continued to help them” Hebrews 6:10

Thank you all for being our friends. God’s blessings in your days.

In His service,

En-Gedi Children’s Home June 2026 Update

En-Gedi Children’s Home - June 2026 Update

In all ways, God is good and faithful, He has been our Rock, our fortress and our deliverer. He has sustained us all well, provided for our needs and has been present with us in all circumstances. He is God Emmanuel and God our Ebenezer! Praise be to Him.

All of you our friends and partners with me in this wonderful ministry to God’s special children are receiving this update because we love you and appreciate your partnership in a very special way. We have taught a few of our children who are able to perceive things how to pray, and there is always one kid who prays for you, our friends and our supporters. Even though we do not get the words as pronounced, God hears every one of those prayers. So as you pray for us, we also pray for you.

We have enjoyed a peaceful time with minimal health issues even though some of the more delicate children have continued to degenerate. We do our best for them, and leave God to do the rest. We are back to 26 children and a few babies out there waiting to get a bed. We continue to wait for God’s timing for us to expand the Home so that we accommodate more children. I will keep you updated when the plans start to take shape. Meanwhile, our Home continued to be a model home for excellent care for severely challenged children.

Newest in our community outreach is formation of a social support group for mothers with special needs children who they are still taking care of. Some of these moms are not able to work outside of their homes because they have no one to leave the child with; and not just that: because of the stigma and belief systems that are associated with disabilities, some of the mothers are completely secluded and lonely. It’s my prayer that our monthly meetings will uplift the spirits of these moms and open ways of visitation to each other and to En-Gedi Home.

1 Peter 4:10 “ Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms”.

Please pray with us for continued good health of our children and staff; for peace in our hearts, in our neighborhood and in our country.
We appreciate your support, your visitations and your prayers. Feel always welcome to En-Gedi Home to see how we spend our days here with the kids.


We wish you all God’s blessings in your days. We love you!

En-Gedi Children’s Home March 2026 Update

En-Gedi Children’s Home - March 2026 Update

Greetings, dear friends of En-Gedi: If you have received this update, then you are alive and well, sustained and cared for by our loving Lord Jesus. He has sustained us here at En-Gedi, and even when this life is full of challenges, His Word clearly tells us that nothing in all creation—including death, life, angels, demons, fears, or powers—can separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus (Rom. 8:38–39). God’s love for His people is unbreakable and unconditional, offering security, comfort, and triumph over any tribulations or despair in our lives.

I would like to register my appreciation to you all for your continued prayers, your financial and material support, and through your presence for those of you who have visited us the last three months since the last update. Thank you for the many encouraging notes sent through seasonal cards, emails, and social media. Indeed, God has raised a big and strong cadre of servants who have made En-Gedi Home a place of joy, comfort, and model care for special needs children. May God reward each one of you in His special ways.

The plan to expand our facility is still in the works, and we trust that at His appropriate time, we will purchase the land next to our Home for this needed expansion. We know that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord (Rom. 8:28). Meanwhile, we continue to care for our children here and visitations to a few others who are living with their families.

During this last quarter, God has blessed us with new friends who have joined us in ensuring that most of our needs are met. We have also received many visitors, both national and international. We give all the glory to our God.

In the last month or so, some parts of our country have received more rain than normal, and while many families have been negatively affected, we thank God that the flooding has not caused direct damage to us. Let us pray for timely help to those in need during the continuing downpour.

We love you all and wish you God’s blessings in your lives. May He keep us connected in serving Him for the glory and honor of His Name.

En-Gedi Children’s Home Christmas 2025 Greetings

En-Gedi Children’s Home Christmas 2025 Greetings

Sending this season’s greetings to you all our friends and co-workers in the Lord. Despite the many challenges that come with life, I am sure we all have something to thank God for as we look back to when this year began and to where we are now. The Lord remains faithful and present with us in all situations and circumstances. There are many close to us that didn’t make it this year, but we did, and for this; we give God all the glory.

In this season, and many more to come, I pray that God will bless you in special ways. Thank you for supporting us in various ways, including being our ambassadors, visiting us and for just being our friends. We love you and wish you a special Merry Christmas and a Happy 2026.

En-Gedi Children’s Home October 2025 Update

En-Gedi Children’s Home - October 2025 Update

Our dear friends and co-workers in the Lord: we rejoice in the Lord our God, who created us and who daily sustain us. We have all been well, healthy and happy. Through all of you who pray for us, support us and those of you who are able to visit us, we have been nourished physically, spiritually, emotionally and socially. It’s because of your friendship, adorned with our God’s love and grace that we have been well. Despite their limitations, our children are able to draw from us love, joy and family unity here at En-Gedi Home. Thank you for being one with us in this joy “for we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Eph2:10).

We thank God that En-Gedi Home has continued to be a model for best practices in the support and care for children with special needs. We have many families and groups of people who have visited us the recently and in the past months and their feedback to us affirms this our vision.

We continue to trust God for our future expansion of En-Gedi Home. I have met many families with challenged children, who though given some care, are often left alone in seclusion and indoors as parents go away in search of their daily bread and other childen go to school. I have also been told of abuse of some of those severely challenged children by those entrusted to care for them. Keep with us in prayer that the land next to En-Gedi that we want to purchase will be freed for this planned expansion. But also believe with me that God’s timing is the right time – He leads – I follow.

Every month that we have a child’s birthdate, we cerebrate their birthdays even though most of them do not figure anything. We share a cake and say a prayer of thanks to God for giving that child another year of life. Our call is to let them fully enjoy their God-given lives until they cross over into heaven or until our Lord Jesus comes back. This month of October, we have birthdays for 4 boys and only 1 can decifer something. Regardless, they all bear God’s image.

In July, we hosted high school students and some youth leaders/parents from Prinsburg and Willmar, MN. The group worshipped with us one Sunday morning in my PCEA Church, among the many adventures we undertook together. We love visitors.
We love you and value your partnership in this ministry. May God keep us connected in serving Him, for His own glory and honor.
