My Fathers House
This is a large rented house near the seafront of Olinda. It is used to care for homeless boys who have been on the street, glue sniffing or into drugs. They are given the opportunity to come off the harmful substances and have a safe place to stay until they can be repatriated with their family or found a new supportive family to stay with until they can be independent. Seven boys can be accommodated at a time and staff are there 24 hours a day to help work with their many problems, aggressive behaviour for example.
It has to be run by contributions because if the state paid any money towards the running of the house it would have to stop being a Christian run place, the council would insist on there being no Christian teaching or worship.
