PHASE 2 (EMPOWER) - WE WORK TO BUILD THEIR ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL SKILLS THROUGH SCHOOL ATTENDANCE, BIBLE STUDY AND DISCIPLINE PROGRAMS. AS WE NURTURE, LOVE, AND SERVE THE CHILDREN, WE QUICKLY SEE THEIR TALENTS AND PERSONALITIES BEGIN TO FULLY BLOSSOM. MANY OF OUR CHILDREN HAVE COME TO RELY ON OUR FATHER'S UNFAILING LOVE. PHASE 3 (EQUIP) - AS THEY ENTER THEIR ADULTHOOD, WE TEACH THEM A TRADE WHICH WILL GENERATE AN INCOME, GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY, AND CARE FOR THEIR FUTURE FAMILIES.
