Jericho Villa Children’s Home.

Jericho Villa is our children’s home out in the country where the children that God brings to us are educated and healed by the power of the Holy Spirit. All of our children experienced extremely traumatic childhoods due to poor decisions on the part of their parents and our prayer is that through vocational and formal education, discipleship training, and prayer filled loving care in a family atmosphere they will be equipped and set free to become all that God has in mind for them to be. The vision is that they will be “bestowed with a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.” Isaiah 61:3. Jericho has legal custody of these children who range from 2 to 18 years of age, and is committed to their physical, emotional and spiritual development until their own mothers can care for them in a godly way or until they are able to live for Christ on their own. We pray that these children, by the power of Christ, will be able to lead lives that glorify God, thus breaking the generational chains of prostitution, sexual abuse, and various addictions that have plagued their families. What a joy it is to see Jesus transforming their lives and giving them a future and a hope. This facet of our ministry includes monthly outreaches by our children. The Holy Spirit uses them to witness to other children from at risk neighborhoods and to minister to their parents.

At Jericho Villa, we initially used our main building to provide housing and schooling for the children under our care. However, we had a broader vision of creating a more personalized and nurturing environment for them. This led us to embark on a project to construct seven individual houses for the children, with four of these homes already completed. *(Learn more about Jericho Villa Family Living)

Each of these houses is now home to a group of children, along with their dedicated house parents, fostering a familial atmosphere and personalized care.

Looking ahead, we have additional plans to enhance our facilities and services. This includes the construction of a school to further enrich the educational experience of the children under our care. Additionally, we aim to implement solar power across all our buildings, ensuring reliable energy sources for our operations.
