School Classroom Needs
We have been blessed at Salem Ranch over the Holidays with 30 computers from OSF in Peoria. We are ever so thankful that they have provided these computers that are desperately needed. When hospitals donate computers they are required by law to delete all the information on the hard drive including Windows.
Today we need to make operational 15 of the 30 computers that were donated, and in order to do this we need Windows Operating systems and mice and monitors. Please consider the following list of items that we need during the month of January 2008.
15 Windows XP Professional SP2 Operating Systems - $139.00 Each
15 Labtec Optical Mouse 800 - $13.00 Each
15 Acer AL1706AB 17" LCD Monitor - $150.00 Each
Thank you and God Bless you All!!!

Vocational Program Needs
Our vocational program is progressing with the help of you. The boys are learning building and repair skills that they will be able to use in their future homes, churches and communities..
Our program started off with "used" tools, and they have become "more used" so we are need in an overhaul if we desire to go forward in the future. Several weeks ago the Lord has worked through Northwood's Community Church in Peoria to help us get the overhaul started. The people of Northwood's responded, and the outpouring of love with gifts of needed items and their precious time to help here at the ranch is worthy of note. For all of you at Northwood's, May the Lord continue to Bless you, and the boys and staff thank you for your continued support. As of Nov 30,2007 we have people from Northwoods Community Church that have committed to donating the rest of the items to get our woodshop in working order. We are so grateful and thankful to the Lord Jesus Christ for working in the lives of the people at Northwoods. To date we have received over $2,000.00 dollars of direct cash donations that is used to buy new tools for our program. We have received over $3,000.00 worth of new tools that will be used in our vocational program and in the horse program, and we have received like new tools that would have cost more than $5,000.00. It never ceases to amaze us how the Lord provides....
