How do you finance an orphanage in rural Ecuador? One orphanage has decided to raise chickens that not only supply a steady income for the center, but food for the kids as well. Students in OM Andean Region's mission training program are constructing the chicken houses as a short-term mission project. It is all part of a two-month training program: four weeks of classes, one retreat week, and four weeks of practical service. The houses were built for the Shalom Foundation, a Christian orphanage where OM Ecuador volunteers every week.

Pray for the children at the orphanage, for the workers, and for God's continued provision through creative programs like these.
