Achievements

The Barn has provided emergency shelter to more than 20 people in the past. At present, we are working on starting a shelter for single mothers and seniors. Later on, we hope to move on to providing affordable homes. The Barn is also a place of prayer and healing. Many have been healed in their spirit, soul and body and gotten back on their feet to achieve self-sufficiency. The Barn has provided emergency shelter to more than 20 people in the past.

The Poor

Founding

The Barn was born from my past experience. Before I sold my house, I have used my double-storey, semi-detached, split-leveled house with 4 bedrooms to accommodate poor students as well as tired friends who were on vacation.
