Zion Children’s Home started as a dream more than a year ago. Completion of the first two cottages is eminent. The home will offer a haven to 16 abused or orphaned children. These children will be provided with a safe place to grow, learn and experience love, perhaps for the first time in their lives.

Zion Children’s Home is registered Bed Bath & Beyond! You can help us furnish the kitchen by purchasing items from our registry wish list. From the main Bed Bath & Beyond website (www.bedbathandbeyond.com), find our page under gift registries using First Name: Zion – Last Name: Children. Basic household items ordered are then mailed to Orlando and delivered to Showalter Flying Service. From there Bahamas Habitat planes will transport it directly to North Eleuthera for delivery to Current Island.

Give a gift for the children today. And pass on our registry site to your friends.

With the children’s home in the final stages of preparation for the grand opening, it’s not too late to get involved make a difference in the lives of the children who need YOU!

Volunteers Learn How Mission Flights Are Rewarding & Fun

February 2, 2012 — Bahamas Habitat (www.bahamashabitat.org) announced today that pilots will be flying to Eleuthera, in February to complete the final stages of a home for abused children. The semi-annual Fly In & Help Out Event, to be held on Thursday, February 16^th through Sunday, February 19^th 2012, serves as an introduction to international mission flying and provides hands on experience with ongoing projects in The Bahamas. All pilots are invited to join us for this special event to hone their international mission flying skills. Typically, over 40 people in more than a dozen aircraft make the trip. The Bahamas Habitat said they expect this event to be even larger due to the excitement surrounding finishing the children’s home.

Construction of the Zion Children’s Home on Current Island began in the fall of 2010 because of the dream of two sisters who wanted to help many abused children.  Thanks to generous support from faithful Bahamas Habitat donors and the local Bahamas church and government, the dream is becoming a reality. Volunteer pilots at the February Fly-In & Help Out Event will transport supplies and focus efforts on completing the first 2 buildings of the children’s home to provide care and safety for 16 abused or orphaned children.

With the children’s home in the final stages of preparation for the grand opening, it’s not too late to get involved. Supplies are still needed to furnish the kitchen. A gift registry was set up at Bed Bath & Beyond using the first name, Zion and last name, Children with instructions on how to ship the purchased items directly to a Bahamas Habitat Florida hub for transport during the upcoming Fly-In & Help Out Event.
