The food tastes extra special good when the little ones come to Ladies Rest, where not only do you eat as much as you want but there is always plenty of extra to take away!

It's a great joy when we get to celebrate the growth of a Ladies Rest woman who has completed vocational training.
"Am I my brother's and sister's keeper?" (Gen. 3:9)
Remember the Bible story of Cain and Able? When God asked Cain about his brother, Able, all Cain could say was those strange words, "Am I my brother's keeper?" God knew what had happened.
Today, God knows the deep suffering and the poverty of the women and children we try to serve. Can you imagine a day when you stand before Him in judgment, as surely we all must, and you are able to explain how you tried to be "your sister's keeper" as she struggled with homelessness and despair?
We hope after reading through this website, you will be inspired to get involved. We ask not for ourselves, but for God's children in need.
