This view is from up the mountain across the road (taken in October of 2,005) ....
so you can see how the buildings are laid out on the land.   You can see photos of the individual buildings below.  
Starting at the pool (clockwise) we have the Boys' Dorm (2nd floor) & home of Elisha & Heather (1st floor),
the kitchen/dining room, which was our first building, begun in June of 1998 (just 4 years ago).  
Then you see the School Bldg./Chapel, and the big L-shaped dorm.  
In the right back corner under the red roof is our Conference Center.  In the front on the right is our "L-shaped" Dorm  
(all girls on 2nd floor, baby boys & 2 school rooms on the 1st floor).  There are 2 guest rooms in this Bldg. as well. 
Next to the dorm is the Mechanic Shop in front and the Carpentry Shop in the back. 
to the left of the pool is a basketball court & play area.
We praise God for all that He has accomplished in such a short time!  
 

The front of our Dining Room/Kitchen.  
We broke ground  for this, our first building, in June of 1999.

We have a "rancho" where we meet for devotions, TV time 
and lots of group activities. 

Landscaping in front of the pool.

We have some beautiful landscaping...all designed by Robert.

Our 2-story School Building / Chapel
The Directors' Family (Robert and Carla with 3 youngest of their 7 "adopted" children) presently live on the 2nd floor.  

This is "Jubilee House"  dorm, which houses all of the
girls and babies, a pharmacy/clinic, as well as
storage rooms & guest rooms.  
Note the toddlers' play area with their own swimming pool.

  
We are thrilled with our pools.  The large one was donated by our home church, Immanuel's Church of Silver Spring, MD. The toddler pool is on the right.

Walkway from the dining room to the front gate,  
with some of our pretty flowerbeds in front of the pool.

"Mispah House" is home for all of our big & medium size
boys -- the word "mispah" signifies the covenant
friendship between Jonathan and David.

This building is both the Carpentry Shop (on this side) and a 
Mechanic Shop (on the front side).  

It is our desire to train our children while having the Home's needs fulfilled.    Please pray with us that God will send us both a full time carpenter and mechanic! 

       
How we LOVE our flowers!  

We also have a Farm!
It is 2½ acres in size,
located across the river about a mile from the Home.  
When we bought the land where we were going to build the home, 
it was a "package deal" and while we did not want this "extra" land, we've come to see what a blessing it is to us.

Our farm project is to help us be more self-supporting.  
We presently have only goats, and pediweys (a cross between a goat/sheep, which is grown for meat).  
We have another small section of land that we have purchased where 
we are growing corn and other things to feed the animals.

* Robert tells folks that when finances get a bit "tight" we don't
have to worry.... all we have to do is eat one of the "kids." 
They're great B-B-Q'd.....Yum, yum!!
