Our Need To Bring Them Home
|  | | Volunteers and Orphans |
The Liberian Civil war mostly affected the young people of the country. The uprising which was term a revolution took the lives of over 200,000 thousand people. Parents and foster parents, single parents and guidance were killed leaving behind the young ones at the mercy of a wicked and uncompromising society.The children of the Liberian society were turn child soldiers. They were used by all warring factions as they achieve their selfish aim of exploiting the nation and its people. These young ones were turn killing machines. They were engage in such acts for the following reasons: * Fear of been killed * They were forced and drug * They saw it as a means of survivor * They were fool with false promises * They had no where to go or stay * Revenge (fighting for one group since they saw their parents or relatives been murdered by the other) * And many more. Before the war subsided, children had stayed in the streets of the country side and those of the cities. They had no care since no one knew their origin and people were afraid that taking in a child will be inviting danger.As the highest victims of the crisis, children decided to fight for survivor. They slept in market places, street corners, soccer fields, church compounds, abandon buildings and school yards. They fed on garbage’s, dump site, rejected food substances and anything they could find for consumption.Orphans walk the streets begging for food, alms and telling their orphans stories. They went about selling small commodities for people with little pay or only for a day’s meal. That is if only they will be treated justly.Looking at this need the Harvest Outreach Ministry developed a burden for these needy orphans who live in the streets of Liberia and those living on the Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana. Presently, the Harvest Refuge Homes are in operation in Liberia and Ghana. The Harvest Refuge Homes seek to serve children who are orphans by giving them a save and permanent home. Orphans who are represented by Harvest Outreach Ministries, are now living in temporary shelter and other living arrangements. These are children who parents were killed, abandoned, lost or cut from family connection during the civil war. These orphans are living under difficult circumstances and are without food, clothing, schooling and medical supplies and care.The Harvest Refuge Homes seeks to build an environment where orphans can find a gentle, loving community in which they know that people really care about them. It will be a home for orphans who knew neglect, misdirection, abandonment, abuse, and crisis but are now in the care of a loving HEART and caring SOUL by the grace of God Almighty.It is our hope that they will get medical care, proper clothing, food, education, counseling, love, attention, and a positive lifestyle. Most importantly, we teach them about Jesus Christ and His love for them. |
Orphans in Liberia
The children we support are a pride possession. Its a great opportunity for us to have the chance to be a Helping Hand in the lives of these children. Sharing in their lives and bringing them support as we put a SMILE of their faces is a dream come true. There are many ways that we could better the lives of these children: Just the name a few, the need for education and medical care is great, the cost of feeding and clothing is expensive and the call to help is urgent.

Orphans in Ghana
|  | | Volunteers and orphans post for picture |
A few miles away from their home country, Liberia there are many orphans lingering at the Buduburam Refugee Camp. Precisely there is nothing worthwhile to do and there is no food since they are living as refugee. At the Sure Foundation the orphans have food and clothing, a little school package and tuition support when the Lord provides. There is a weekly feeding program run by the foundation as we meet other needs.

Programs of Sure Foundation as we reach our orphans

In all of our programs and support to the orphans, we depend on our dedicated and committed staffs who are volunteers. In this picture is Mother Janet Campbell Tarpeh and a volunteer getting ready to distribute daily meals to the orphans. We are committed to serving and ministering to these orphans as we serve God and reach the world. Financially, we are limited but we do have fine and faithful stewards who have submitted themselves to this call and cause. We need your prayers and support in any way possible.

Enjoying Meal
|  | | Orphans having meal |
When meals are served by our volunteers the children eat together. They enjoy this fellowship of sharing. It is common in Africa for children to eat together since we do not have a dinning hall at the Harvest Outreach Ministries(HOM) where services are received. During the week HOM provide meals to our orphans each day and over 100 children four times a week. It is our prayers to provide feeding for all of these children.Seeing so many children go hungry on the Buduburam Refugee Camp is our concern and it has become a burden. We do not have much finances to support and feed all of the children in need.

Recreation Alive

One of our exciting ministry is the movie night where we show movies of biblical messages. Movies like the Jesus Film, Ten Commandments, The Story of Joseph and other movies. We do not have children movies that are age appropriate. It is our hope to continue this section of our program. Please pray with us as we are praying for children movies and other biblical series. many family do not have a television and we do not have our own. With a rented television we administer to our orphans and other children of the community as we preach the massage of Christ through this medium.
