The Foundation owns an 8½-acre plot on a rising plateau that connects to some magnificent, sharp upthrusts of mountains along the Myanmar/Thai border. Here we have a complex for training leaders.
A literacy center and office stands at the center of the property. Here we have created numerous educational publications, books, a Wa Bible, and histories of the Wa people. Our aspiring leader's trainings are holistic, focusing on creating larger world views. We train in the scriptures, reading and writing, computer skills, English and Thai, children at risk issues, agriculture, and so on.
In this community we also have twenty-five orphans from various villages in Thailand. There is a teak grove as a long-term project to help cover the higher education costs for orphans.
The children's home consists of a series of cottages and is staffed by the students as well as full-time personnel. This allows our folks to get hands-on experience at working with children, and many of them will care for orphans at other homes in southeast Asia or adopt orphans later when they plant new churches in remote jungle villages.
This property is a place of peace and a refuge to children at risk and marginalized peoples.
