Called 127 Legacy Foundation, Abraham’s organization works with local ministries in the country to “assist orphanages and children’s homes across Indonesia as they reach, rescue, and restore the lives of needy children with the love of Jesus Christ”, according to Rob Brooks, the foundation’s executive director.
Working with the Union of Indonesian Baptist Churches, Rebana Ministries Indonesia, and Getsemani Baptist Church of Jakarta, the foundation currently supports an orphanage in Kupang, on the island of Timor, and recently began support of a small, struggling orphanage in north central Sumatra.
Last October, Abraham and Brooks brought a team over to the “House of Joy” in Kupang, where they helped build a playground, installed ceiling fans, purchased a washer/dryer set, and bought all 35 children new school uniforms. In June of this year, they met with and adopted the second orphanage, “Hope of Nations” children’s home in Sumatra. They also worked on plans with the Baptist hospital in Batu, Java, to build a community medical clinic on the site of the Rebana House of Joy, furthering the positive impact of that ministry in the city of Kupang.
Abraham’s foundation recently held a fundraiser dinner and silent auction for its efforts in Indonesia, raising over $25K for the community clinic project.
The foundation will be partnering with the Gwinnett Braves for a “127 Legacy Night” at the ball park on Saturday, August 22nd, 7pm. Tickets will be $12 per seat, right behind the Braves dugout, with $3 of each ticket sold going back to the foundation.
