In 1970 the first child came to live in the farm home in a stable, loving Christian family. Over the years hundreds
of children have lived at the home. Funds from churches and individuals (we receive no state funds) have expanded the
facilities since that beginning.
1974 The tri-level
home was built to house the children
1989 A combination administration building and residence was erected replacing
the farmhouse
1999 The Talitha Koum Home (girls' home) was
built doubling our capacity for children
2001 Volunteers built Our Father's House (boys' home).
