Father's House South Africa
Message from the Executive Director
March 21, 2020
Dear Friend of Father’s House,
In these difficult times, let God’s Word bolster your faith and give you confidence in our Lord Jesus Christ. Here are two of God’s richest promises:
Psalm 23:1-4 (NIV)
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Lamentations 3:19-26 (NIV)
I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: (italics mine)
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
I just want to say a hearty “Thank you” for staying the course in your support for missions: ours and others whom you support in prayer and financial giving. I know how difficult it is when times are so uncertain.
May God bless you and keep you strong in Him,
Stephen Pike, Executive Director

New Director Starting August 1 in Romania
A Romanian couple, Chris and Alinda Rusu came to Canada 20 years ago to make a life for their family. Both husband and wife were university educated and held high level positions, earning a good living. But Christ saved them and changed their whole direction in life. No longer are they chasing the dollar. Now they are following God's leading to go back to Romania and serve Him through Father's House International.
They come with a wealth of experience in marriage counseling, prayer and healing. Their ministry is vital for children who have been neglected and abandoned before coming to our Father's Houses. Alinda will be able to share and care for our moms who raise these children and teens day in and day out. She is mother to two grown children (and grandchildren!), and two teen boys.
We are excited about the solid, spiritual and emotional support this couple can provide for our Father's House parents. We invite you to participate in their life and service by contributing monthly toward their support. Please use the Donate button to choose your preferred method of charitable giving, and apply your gift(s) to: Romanian National Director
We do appreciate your support in order to help the Rusu family follow God's leading in their lives! God bless you with the unlimited riches of Christ.
