About G.R.O.W.
Grace Refuge Outreach Worldwide (G.R.O.W.)
Mission and Projects 2009-2010
Vision:
To rescue at risk children and youth by supporting, educating and providing them with a safe place to live, grow and learn about Christ.
Reasons:
- At risk children and youth do not value their own lives. We need to show them that God created them, loves them and that we love them too. The best way to do this is by providing them with a family home where they can live as a community and develop their body, mind and spirit for the glory of God.
- At risk children and youth, especially if they are from the hill tribes, often do not value their own culture. We need to show them that God values their culture and we need to help them preserve the good aspects of their culture.
Goals:
- Provide a safe home for at risk children and youth to live.
- Start with Akha children and youth in northern region of Thailand.
- Focus on children and youth who are at risk of becoming sex slaves.
- Start with a home for 7 girls who are 5-9 years and have not yet become victims of the sex industry.
- Share God’s love with the children and youth and help them become strong Christians and leaders of their country.
- Help hill tribe children and youth become fully functional citizens of their country.
- Help children become mentors to other children once they are older and mature in Christ.
