How To Open An Orphanage
How do i get over my own selfishness? Its weighing heavily on my heart to give up my my whole comfort zone and open an orphanage in Africa, just outside of South Africa where I live. I do trust in God. How do I know when the time is right or if its even right? Will God make it clear to me?

I am very interested in starting an orphanage in South Africa. Does anyone have any information or suggestions to how to begin this process, where to get the finances, etc. I feel this is the Lord's plan for me and consistent prayer has lead to the doors beginning to open, but I am still lost in how to get the process started. Any help would be great! |

Hi I think it is a wonderful idea. I feel the exact same and I am currently trying to away to get an orphanage started in Zims. I don't know where to start, perhaps we can help each other along. Who can argue with the Will of God. God will definately make it clear to you, it's a question of taking step by step and heading to His call. God bless Nadia (UK) Zimbabwean |

I completely understand the pull of wanting to help children. I myself have had the same question on my heart for an orphanage in east texas. How do i know it's from God? Well first of all when he does something for me theres no question , so my response to you would be start trying to line your self up with the right people who can guide you in the right direction. If it's God's will it will happen so easy. God bless you |

My sister and i are very interested in opening and orphanage in Zimbabwe. because its standards of living have decreased so much due to its political turmoil we have really found an urgent need for an orphanage there.

To the person who wants to open an orphanage in South Africa, that is my vision as well. It has always been my dream to move to Africa and help in any way that I can. Quite recently, the idea to open an orphanage popped into my head and has remained there, I feel that this is my calling. To anyone with information on how I can begin the process of building an orphanage in South Africa, please speak up. And to anyone who is interested in and serious about helping in Africa, please contact me. This is my 1st time on this site and I do not know how it works. |

Has anyone found out any information on how to open an orphanage in the US? I would like to consider bringing babies to this orphanage from international locations in order to make adoptions easier and more economical for US parents. I have a lot of experience with children with disabilities, so that I possibly could take these blessed little souls in too. Now that Obama is making international abortions more available with US funds, I would like to be able to receive unwanted children rather than have them aborted. Thoughts? Ideas? God bless. Pray for the unborn. |

John - I couldn't believe that there is an Islamic militant group in the Phillipines. Did you hear Gracia Burnham's story? Wow. Everyone on this site needs to cover you in prayers because of your good work and to protect you while you are there. |

My wife and I are in the process of starting an orphanage in the Philippines. We have land ready to build on and will start in September - the Lord willing. We do not have the finance, but He has not let us down in the two years we have been preparing . We have completely surrendered the vision to Him, which is your first step and then let the Lord open the doors for you. We never ask for money and thus all the glory goes to the Lord. We have a foundation set up and the paper work done. The rules are very strict in the Philippines and require you to employ a social worker per 25 children, we already have Christian social workers who have volunteered. Just step out of the boat by faith - one day at a time. God Bless, John |

Life gives to the giver. I think you should do it, because even if you fail (which I doubt will happen), you will still be more successful than most. |

YES YES YES! God will make it very clear for you. Pray and ask God for confermation.Things will happen in His timing,and if He wants things to happen now it will happen now,if He wants things to happen in 10 years it will happen in that time.Be blessed that He has put this on your heart,and continue to pray about it.God Bless |

as a christian if it doesnt stop nagging at you, I would listen to that voice . satan wont tell you to do 'good' and this project is for the good of the children for YOU to bring love and GOD into their lives and he will supply ALL your needs-> Philippians 4:19, so ask him to bring it your way, you will know..always listen to the FIRST quick thought, its from the Lord ..any thoughts after that is satan trying to steal it away, by showing you the negative side. God bless the field he is putting you in. |

as for thinking it through. its all i think about. im suprised they havent fired me at work for staring aimlessly out the window for lack of concentration :) i am in contact with a lady running orphanages in swaziland.. just that fear man!! ha ha.. am 24 yrs old and this has been on heart for about 8 yrs.. was just saved 4 months ago though. |

financially i think i will be ok.God revealed the purpose of my job is the building of relationships with these huge co-operate giants for the last 3 yrs and that could be the funding.its not so much the money as the fear and the "what ifs".people say,you can never fail with Gods hand over you but its easier said than done.fear of failing is a powerful feeling sent from satan himself i think. sorry to have bothered everyone.haha.i kind of answer my own questions sometimes.:) |

God will make it clear to you. This does not mean you will see positive things happening immediately. You might find many negative things will happen which could make you think 'I must have got this wrong' but if you still feel determined after the negative and plod on God will show you in His time. If it is His will you will have no desire to give up, your desire will be to continue until the plan falls into place. You will then see why some things could not happen as they would have hindered God's plan. |

If it is such a burden to you it may be from God indeed. I recommend though, in addition to prayer and thorough Bible study, to seek to gain from the knowledge and experience of others who started an orphanage (or continue it); they may perhaps also be of help by sharing their own story on how God led them. It is wonderful that you are having such love to Christ and the orphans in your heart, dear Natasha! Jesus bless you! |

What training and skills do you have to operate an orphanage? What would be your funding source? Have you thought these things through? If God calls us, He also equips us. |
