NOT A HOUSE, A HOME

Our focus : We provide a safe, loving family environment for our kids while they are with us while at the same time get them through the process of adoption or safe reunification with relatives or their families. When this is not possible, we ensure that the children continue to grow in a nurturing environment through our independent living program, where they receive life skills training and the opportunity to pursue university education or vocational training.

Synergy with all our ministries: All of our kids attend our school, CCS, where they receive a solid education. Many of our other ministries invest in the kids we care for - youth ministry, family ministry and Church Connect.

Two Homes, One Family

We operate two nearby homes: Region 4-12 for boys and House of Salah for girls. While the homes are separate, we have sibling groups and prioritize keeping them connected. Together, we foster a close, family-like environment across both homes.

Boys Home

Inspired by 1 Timothy 4:12 , Region 4-12 empowers our young boys to be role models at home, in school, and in the community, building a foundation for the lasting impact they’ll make in the future.

Girls Home

Selah, our girls' home, is always alive with songs of joy and worship. We nurture an environment where our girls can deepen their relationship with God, finding purpose, building character, and growing into young women of faith and resilience.

How We Started

After 14 years of missionary work in the Philippines, Jeff and Colene Long founded New Faith Family Children's Home in 2005, inspired by their daughter’s question, "Dad, can't we do something more for these kids?" The foundation serves abandoned and abused children, instilling God-honoring values through a holistic approach that nurtures , emotional, and educational growth. Partnering with the government, we provide comprehensive care for each child in need.
