Exciting progress continues our new building, the CEA Older Boys’ Residence! Final preparations are underway for the roof installation. Once the bond beam is poured, work on the roof will begin. The plumbing has already been roughed in, and the electrical rough-in will follow soon.

Faithful in Serving

Faithful Serving - CEA graphicsWe do our very best to surround the children in our care with love, encouragement, and wise guidance. Like all young people, they sometimes make choices that do not reflect what they have been taught. These moments can be difficult, but they remind us that lasting growth requires time, patience, prayer, and grace.

Even when we feel disappointed, we must not become discouraged from the work God has entrusted to us. We are called to keep planting seeds of faith, offering loving correction, and showing each child the compassion of Christ. We may not see immediate results, but we trust God to work in their hearts as we faithfully continue to serve.

We also recognize that some children may eventually choose to leave our care. Although that possibility weighs heavily on our hearts, we remain committed to loving, praying for, and guiding them for as long as we are given the opportunity. Please pray with us that, wherever their journey leads, each child will carry with them the truth, love, and hope they have received here.

 

Ephesians 2:8-10

8For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
