Our kids

I want to introduce some of our kids to you so you can get to know the people that originally drew me to this ministry. I will start a regular "kid post" so you can meet some of the nearly 70 children we care for. The children are the foundation of Lifeqwest's ministry, and its genesis. Despite all the other great work we have going on, including the water project, none is more important than the day-to-day care and raising of these kids in a safe, loving, Christian environment. We're proud of them, because they really stand out in the community as happier, healthier, and better behaved than most other kids.


This is Tugi. I will confess he is one of my favorites, because he has the cutest smile. It is so big that it's practically disproportionate to his face! We received Tugi when he was 2 months old, and he is 4 years old now. His mother died during childbirth, and his grandfather brought him to us. He lives in the toddlers apartment with 9 other kids between 3-7 years old. They are a hoot to play with.

Pretty much all of them have that joy-filled, megawatt smile. They are simply a joy to be around.
