Our goal |
|
To help those children, who for various reasons, have been left to survive on the street. The Street Ministry Department of Father's House, which is heading the work with homeless children, is one of the key-directions of our total ministry.
The main purpose of this department - is to deliver the message of the love of Christ, the hope for salvation and the possibility of a brighter future. We believe that God has prepared this better future for them, the first step toward that future is when the child leaves their life on the street.

Fundamental tasks:
- To meet and establish regular contact with the child.
- To give first aid, food, clothing and more extensive medical care.
- To build a trusting relationships.
- To attain as much information as possible about the reasons for which the child lives on the street, the location of their parents or relatives and his/her overall status.
- To develop a program for further relationship and work with the child; the goal being one of the following: returning them to their family, placing them in a safe orphanage, and rehabilitation.

To accomplish these tasks, the street ministry team conducts regular visits to the areas where children live. Information is gathered on every child and entered into our database.
From time to time the department holds different activities where hundreds of children participate. Our workers often take children to their church.
