Project Opportunities from Flutemaker Ministries for 2010
We have to opportunity to buy a bus for the kids. As the rains come in May, we would like to get them out of the back of the pickup truck. Cost for the bus is $3,500. I currently have a pledge for $500.
Now that the construction of the big house has begun, the kids need a new area to play in. We are preparing this area which needs a cyclone fense, 20 bags of cement, 400 quary stones, 6 meters of sand, iron rebar, 9 metal posts and labor. $1,714.
Overall Mission - to make the children's home at Cascabel a self sufficient ministry that will feed, clothe, and school the children, help to break the cycle of poverty, create jobs, and get in a position to help others.
Flutemaker Ministries monthly donations are currently insufficient to cover the costs for food. For that reason the ministry seeks your help.
1) Monthly Fundraising goal for Food Project: $2155
These gifts are the most important thing that we can do in Cascabel. I have seen personally the health and vitality changes that have come upon the kids because of regular nutrition. We are building businesses, we are building bedrooms and all of these things are needed but without a regular food budget, we have warm, dry children with empty bellies.
Would you consider giving a monthly "Grace Gift" of $25.00 that goes exclusively toward feeding a child in Cascabel Nicaragua? You can donate at the top left in the food box.
You can send your tax deductible gift to:

Please note in the memo: Grace Gift for Food
As of December 1, 2009 we have 23 Grace Gifts of $25 coming in to feed the kids. We needed 100 Grace Gifts. Can you become a partner with Flutemaker Ministries? Or help with a one time gift as we find the remaining 87 Grace Gifts.
Thank you! Erik the flutemaker

The Home now owns 2 stores. I believe micro businesses are the way to end poverty.

Projects other than Cascabel:
I am looking for a church or a cell group or a blessed donar to sponsor a bakery business in the village of Uniles near Somoto Nicaragua. This will help many climb out of poverty.

Oven in Uniles, finished May, 2009
Industrial Bakery: Uniles is a community struggling to rise out of poverty. Some of the people we are reaching out to walk the distance to Somoto to bake but they earn very little. We want to help them run a bakery in their own village. We already own a ½ acre of land bought for $1,200 in 2007 in the name of the children's ministry. We built an Industrial Oven in May of 2009. We now need the following to make this dream a reality:
Bakery needs: To upgrade old adobe house next to oven to be the temporary small factory. Aproximately $2,000
If we tear the adobe house down, clean up the roof tile for reuse and build a 20 x 5 meter work shop out of block with 4 divisions, to make baked products, sales room, kitchen and dormitory it will cost $8,111.
Installing electricity will cost $1,015.
As we develop the bakery business in Uniles it can one day provide rent for the home in Cascabel.
The water provided by the town is only available 2 days a week for 2 hours. A well would give us water 24 hours a day. To put in a well, pump and water tank would cost $7,080. We are looking for well ministries to dig this well in Uniles.
Uniles is a major project. Please pray about helping us with this. To speak to me about this, please call me at 954-424-6502. Thank you! Erik the flutemaker
