James 1:27, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

This has been the vision for JPLA, and it is exciting to report the last part of that verse that addresses widows has been fulfilled, but not completed because the Redeemed Program will continue to grow.

Widows today include women struggling to care for their children. Many do not have husbands, and the male population has abused most.

James Project of Latin America has provided help for many women in dire states, but another area has opened up to help further. The Project purchased three manzanas (5 acres) and is building the first three homes to provide protection and a place for the women to find restoration in their lives.

Through donors, there is a wall around the property, a well with a pump, and electricity, and the construction crew is moving quickly to have the home ready for its new occupants.

We dedicated the Village of Hope to the Lord last month. Plans are to build 3 more homes on this piece of property. Recently, someone bought another three manzanas right next to this one, so the plans are expanding.
