TJ's HOUSE (Turning to Jesus)
It is our vision at The Tabernacle to give hope to the hopeless and life to the lifeless. Changing destiny of some and through them, changing the world for many. Thank you and God bless- Numbers 6:24-26
The Tabernacle
HOUSE OF HEALING-
We were invited to Africa in 2004 to speak at a few churches by a friend that lived in the states. Our thoughts were not about the orphaned children at that time, we were completely oblivious to the severity of the problem. During our 3 week stay our hearts were broken by the enormous loss of life that had left so many children without parents. In 2004 there was an estimated 980,000 orphans; today (2008) there is 1.8 million. While we can't reach all, we WILL reach some. Thus, TJ's House was born.

The Need for Urgent & Sustained Action
Millions of children have already lost parents as a result of the AIDS epidemic and millions are more likely to over the next few years. There is an urgent need to help, care and protect these children, preventing more children from becoming orphans. In Zimbabwe, a variety of initiatives are now taking place to help AIDS orphans, but the number of children is increasing. The current response is not keeping up with the increase in need. There is an URGENT need for assistance and this is going to require increased financial commitment over the next few years. WILL YOU HELP?
