Message

Ahead on the dusty road you see a young child. You notice his slight frame, the obvious result of malnutrition. He picks through the dirt, scrounging for a morsel of food, savoring each small bite he finds. He looks up as you approach and reaches his hand up to you. You will choose to pass by or to look him in the eyes, grasp his hand and lift his frail body to a place of hope.

That is our mission, to reach out to the children of the southern district of Sierra Leone, until every child has hope. Explore the rest of the website to see what Jonathan's House is all about.


THE BOLAND GIRLS WITH THEIR NEW BROTHER

News, Promise & Prayer

Praise the Lord for the opening of "2nd Chance on 3rd", our second hand store. The regular income from this store will allow us to reach more children for Christ in Sierra Leone! The store in on the northeast corner of 3rd Avenue and Boone Street in Marshalltown and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. If you have goods to donate to the store or would like to volunteer to work in the store, please call Roger at 641-485-2829!

Praise the Lord for the homecoming of John Tarawallie to the Boland family! God worked in a mighty way to overcome many obstacles and get this boy home to his family in only 9 months!

Praise the Lord for the health of the children at the orphanage. Most of the skin infections that were so invasive a year ago have cleared. Please pray for freedom from serious infection from the many boils the children experience at this season of the year.

Praise the Lord for the completion of the foundation of the new school! They are ready to start building the walls! Pray for the remaing $25,000 to come in for the completiong of the building!

Pray for the upcoming medical trip in March of 2009! Please contact Roger if you have an interest in serving in this way!
