A Home of Healing

Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good;
Haste makes mistakes. (Proverbs 19:2 NLT)

There certantly has not been a shortage of excitement around the iBranches headquarters these days. Many wonderful and passionate people have come alongside to offer support and encouragement as we continue down the path to offer a home of healing for these precious little girls in need of full restoration. With that though comes the task of compiling our own manual of 'Policies, Protocols, and Procedures'. We've been blessed through our relationships with IJM, Streetlight PHX, Bethel Transformation Center, Simpson University, and others to glean valuable information and acquire many resources to draw upon as we proceed. We have also been pouring over some excellent material from well established safe home/aftercare facilities around the world to include Cambodia, Nepal, and the Philippines. We are ever so grateful to those who have relentlessly gone before us and blazed the trail into the best practice and protocols for residential care for children who have been commercially sexually exploited. We are excited and humbled to work through this process and move one step closer to opening 'Faith's Place'. Bless....Greg and Teresa
