The Door of Faith Orphanage has been a ministry partner of Strong Tower for over 10 years and during that time we have seen an entire generation of children call DOFO their home. Currently, this orphanage provides a family environment for over 100 children which requires an ongoing paid staff of 30, a volunteer staff of 10, and a monthly budget to pay for food, utilities, transportation and school expenses.  Over the last several months, a sharp decline in monthly support has led to staff layoffs and budgeted item shortfalls.  With multiple national and global natural disasters occuring recently (fires, floods, earthquakes) we are constantly faced with so much need around us that sometimes it seems overwhelming in regards to where to prioritize giving needs. Fortunately we serve a God that is acutely aware of and has the capability of meeting all needs. We are asking our supporters to reach out to help this ministry financially in its time of need.  100% of all donations received on behalf of Door of Faith will be used to meet this need.         
 
DJ & Lynette Schuetze
In 2017, DJ Schuetze became President of Strong Tower Ministries. He and his wife Lynette, have been fulltime missionaries in Baja for almost 25 years. During that time they have raised their own support, which allows them to be volunteer administrators at the Door of Faith Orphanage. We now invite all of our Strong Tower Ministries supporters to help this couple directly by giving a one-time or monthly contribution.

Dental Outreach 9-28
September has been a month of PROGRESS! The clinic, although not completely finished, is already seeing patients. Just this Wednesday the new dental room saw its first patients. Our focus heading into next month will be to finish the block work on Phase 3. This is in preparation for our annual "ALL HANDS ON DECK" framing party beginning in November. We will be finishing the interiors of the upstairs apartment, the pharmacy, and the office areas so the Siloe staff can begin using those areas.  We would also like to get the community center ready in time for a much anticipated December event that Siloe is planning. There are plenty of opportunities for "skilled" and "unskilled" volunteers. Sign up now for one of the trips listed on the calendar by contacting Jim @ (949) 212-8071 or sign up via our website event calendar:  TRIP REGISTRATION
