We recently had the opportunity to work on a project with a ministry in India called
Faith in Deeds. Faith in Deeds Inc. is a faith-based, not-for-profit organization committed to the support of disenfranchised children of India by providing the children with a family atmosphere in which they can be discipled in the way of the Lord Jesus, by educating them in a manner that they can make properly informed life-decisions based on a Biblical world view, and by inspiring them to love each other and to share the love of Jesus throughout their community.
Faith in Deeds was able to purchase a 5 acre parcel of land in Andhra Pradesh, India, and
Visbeen Associates worked with them to design a new campus that includes a boy's dorm, girl's dorm, playground, community center & clinic, Christian school and green space for gardening and raising animals. The first phase of the project will be the boy's and girl's dorm.
