Vision

Conclusion:

By bringing together US Churches and their resources with the indigenous churches in 3rd World Countries, many many children can be rescued for the Kingdom of God. White Stone will serve as a liaison, a conduit of resources and an agent of accountability to insure that integrity is maintained by the Homes, and that the US churches can know that their resources are indeed going to the ministry they support.

White Stone has a vision to develop Homes in various locations around the World. These Homes will be created to provide a home where children can live and grow in an environment that is as close to a real family as possible. We believe that, although the most widely form of facilities around the globe are basically “child-warehouses” which at least keep children off the streets, they do very little to provide the very basic building blocks of life that a child truly needs. Needs such as the love of a mother and father, a home to grow in - not a “facility” - and a home where Jesus is not only preached, but lived!

The Homes will focus upon providing the following:
> A Home where Jesus is the center of the home
> A Home where a fulltime mom & dad are present and active in the home
> A physical setting in which a family environment is created
> A strong spiritual foundation
> A good education
> Life skills training
> Job training
> Attention is paid to all aspects of health: balanced diets, vitamins, exercise, etc.
> A lot of LOVE!

Children learn by example and if a child has not been raised in a true family environment , they will have an extremely hard time in their adult life creating a family of their own. Then the cycle of abuse and abandonment continues to the next generation. That's why we believe these children need a family!

These Homes will also serve as “Model Homes” or training centers for indigenous ministers and child care workers in other countries to help train those who want to develop their own homes.

To create an international program through which U.S. churches can connect with children’s homes in other countries. The goal is to develop a network of churches in the U.S. who will partner with indigenous ministries
to work together in rescuing children in that particular country. U.S. churches, ministries, businesses and individuals who wish to participate in this program will be asked to provide monthly support to the Home they are partnering with.

This program will allow the Body of Christ to come together to combine their resources to help rescue orphans…indigenous ministries providing the care for the children and churches helping to financially support a home. Most of these indigenous ministries cannot financially care for a Home without help, so by involving the U.S. churches and their financial support, many more orphans can be rescued. In turn, it allows the churches to fulfill the command of God to take care of the orphans and the widows.

White Stone will identify and screen the indigenous ministries desiring to open a Home, and then White Stone will seek out a U.S. church or churches to help support this new Home. White Stone will remain in continual oversight and will demand that the Home maintain a transparent attitude in order to continually receive this support.

White Stone will offer the participating churches and businesses with a monthly financial report, and a report complied by the WS team who visits the Home. The U.S. Church will receive pictures of the children in care and the staff in their partner’s Home, so that the Church can have more of a personal connection to the children they are helping to care for and to also pray for these children and staff. This will also provide the church with a place for missions teams and youth teams to go to and to minister in.
