Vision Beyond Borders helps people that have been impacted by Christian persecution throughout the world. It’s Vision for Children program has established many children’s homes in India, Nepal, and Burma. Their model is to have these homes sustain themselves in the event the ministry has to leave for political or other reasons. Here’s a little bit about Vision Beyond Borders so you can get to know them better. Can any one say “Christ in culture” to this? I can!
(MNN) — Exponential impact is just one of the benefits of self-sufficient ministries.
Vision Beyond Borders is working with a home in Burma to establish more self-sufficient programs as part of their Vision for Children program.
Dyann Romeijn of VBB says self-sufficiency for their ministry is a must in case they are forced to leave the country.

“As we’ve gotten into countries like Burma where we don’t have diplomatic relations, it’s always been a concern of ours: what would happen if we were kicked out, if we were not allowed?”
She says that in cases where the programs are dependent on those outside ministries, it would actually leave the people worse off than when the program was started.
While VBB has established many children’s homes in India, Nepal, and Burma, they know getting kicked out is always a possibility. “We always want to make sure that the people we’re serving would still be able to continue to function if that were to happen. So one of the ways that we’ve been looking at trying to do that is to allow these children’s homes to become a little more self-sustaining,” Romeijn says.
The home in Burma has the opportunity to develop seven acres of property. This will make it possible for the home to provide all the necessary food for the children, as well as provide an income to provide their school supplies and other educational needs.

Vision Beyond Borders is committed to meeting the needs of the Persecuted Church around the world by carrying native language Bibles and Gospel materials to Muslim, Communist, and other countries closed to the Gospel. We work with native missionaries, pastors and evangelists; supplying them with the tools, training and support they need to help fulfill the “Great Commission” in their own countries.
God often opens doors for us to meet Spiritual needs and demonstrate the love of our Savior to these people by allowing us to meet their physical needs as well. We have helped build and sustain Christian Children’s Homes to provide security, shelter, food, and education to children who have lost their parents or whose parents are too poor to provide for them.
