Raise Up!

February 16, 2009 | by archiveworldraceblogs

Seventeen members of our squad spent the month of January in Temane, Mozambique, partnering with Jesus 4 Africa Ministries, run by Jaco and Maria Rudolph. Among other ministries, their main focus is the Temane Orphanage.

 
Twenty-four orphans were found in the bush of Mozambique following the devastation of Cyclone Flavio in 2006 by a man named Eric. He took responsibility for them. He would now care for them and protect them. However, Eric did not have the means to provide much else. 

 
Once Jaco and Maria discovered Eric and these children, they knew God was calling them to help. With little more than their own personal support, the Rudolph’s set about the task of living out God’s call. 

 
Currently the children sleep in large revival style tents on grass mats with blankets. At this time, a building is being constructed to offer more suitable living conditions. In order to prepare the children for this transition, several of our team mates feel called to return to Mozambique for the month of March. This preparation will consist of, among other things, the Raise UP! Project. 
 
 

Raise UP!

And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in.

-Isaiah 58:12

Raise UP! is a respect and incentive program coupled with discipleship. The goal is to establish routine in order to teach respect for themselves, others, their belongings, and environment. The goal is that through these children, we may set the foundations of this generation firmly in the Lord and His Truth, so that they can raise their children to repair and restore the breaches of their nation.

The respect incentive portion of the program will focus on scheduled rewards for adhering to established guidelines. Each child will be given a box, which they can personalize. The first week will focus on each child receiving all the incentive items which include: toothbrush, soap, washcloth, small toys, etc.

After the initial one-month course, additional materials will be sent via e-mail, complete with scheduled rewards to be given by orphanage staff. 

Teaching the children to care for their boxes and contents will help them to form good habits of taking ownership and responsibility. With guidance, these habits will overflow into all areas of their lives.

Our vision is to invest in this generation. We are asking for your help to Raise UP! a foundation for these children. Below is a list of supplies and costs needed to obtain them. 

Supplies:

Box                              $10 per child

Incentive Items            $20 per child

 
Teaching Materials      $200

Rewards                      $200

Miscellaneous             $100

 

Total                             $1,220
