What is Valley Light’s Solution?
Our mission is to empower vulnerable children to pursue their full potential. We see it as our mandate to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and His disciples in proclaiming the Gospel both in word and in deed. We engage in extensive evangelism and apologetics and various community projects.
We are guided by the following values:
- The Word of God is our foundation
- Prayer is our fuel
- Love every individual as a bearer of God’s image
- Nurture the unique gifting and abilities of each child
- Be a witness for the Gospel
Our Programs
- Valley Light Home
The home welcomed the first group of children on July 31, 2011. As of July 2023, Valley Light is home to 39 children.
- Pisgah Heights Academy
Our school started as a homeschooling program to help rescued children who had not had the opportunity to be in school and who were considerably behind their peers. Our goals is to develop the school into a full-fledged institution that will provide top-quality education to our own children and the children in our community.
- Community Outreach
We are convinced that the abandonment of children is the symptom of a deeper problem that is both spiritual and sociocultural. It is rooted in worldview and it must be addressed at that level if we are to stop the process that gives us orphaned and abandoned children in the first place. We regularly hold leadership training events, evangelism and apologetics sessions, and food and water filter distributions among others.
