main dorms for both sexes. Each
dorm is slated to house at 125 children
at full capacity. In the dorm

community only but the children of the
nearby communities will be welcomed to
use the facility. This can be a
great tool in reaching out our neighbor
hood for Christ. Total estimated

many children living in the same
quarters year after year it will be just
be very loving to have such a facility
for them, to help keep them active and
healthy, send a love gift today or just

on line.
The Dispensary
In order to meet the
needs of the campus children,
physically, we will have on campus
clinic. Since we will have many
children housed here we believe it will
of the best interest of our children to
have on campus medical clinic. The
clinic will not only assist the campus
children but it will eventually minister
needs to the surrounding community as
well. Through this ministry we
will also be able to reach out for
souls. Estimated total cost
$45,000.
The
Manager Quarters
Staff Quarters
In order to assure that
the children are well ministered to the
Manager and his supporting staff will
live on campus. This will ensure
the safe guarding and good welfare of
the children. The ministry will
provide good decent housing for the
staff. Estimated total cost for the
staff quarters will run around
$140,000. Good to have loving
believers looking and raising kids.
Help this project.
Guest Quarters
OCM expects
volunteers to come and assist in
mentoring children on short terms basis,
and to assist with their accommodations
in order to eliminate extra burden and
expenses we will construct a guest house
which will house volunteers on long and
short term basis.
The quarters will be fully equipped and
will be able to host families and small
team. Total cost for this facility
will be around $45,000.
This will eventually save the ministry
lots of expenses in the long run.
Come, share, minister and live where
these children are. You will never
be same. That is why we need the
guest house. To have real on hand
experiences.
Support Staff

home with the help of staff and children
we will be able to raise our crops such
as vegetables. Potatoes, corn,
sweet potatoes, chicken, cows for milk.
This will help offset food expenses.
