Singles Serving Orphans
Mission trip to Mexico
I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you--Jn 14:18
Our mission.
Our trips are true spiritual retreats, focused on drawing the missionaries into a deep encounter with Christ and his children. The most extraordinary aspect of our mission is the lasting, even permanent binding together which takes place among the members of our missionary team. We believe that this bond to one another in Christ is the reason this mission is thriving and growing.

Please consider a one-time or monthly donation to help us continue to transform this orphanage and the lives of these children. It is fast and secure and our labor and God's love multiplies the effect of your gift many times over. (One example of this multiplication: because flashing was unavailable for many miles around, one of missionaries cut Coke cans into 5x8 inch aluminum patches which he siliconed and screwed to the roof, successfully stopping the worst of the leaks until we return for more extensive repairs).

What we have done and are doing at the orphanage.
We provided materials and labor to completely replace the roof on the girl's dormitory. We have also done extensive painting, landscaping, concrete block work, repaired leaks, and gave the bathrooms the cleaning of a lifetime. We conducted an extensive renovation of the exterior of the main building, replacing siding, repairing overhangs, patching leaks, and painting everything.
On our December/January missions we installed top-grade, heavy-duty plexiglas in the very many places where glass was broken or missing from the windows. 85 kids in one building can be hard on windows, and this should be a terrific long-term solution. We fabricated operable windows in the places where this was needed.
We also provide and cook meals, and provide other donations of money and goods to the orphanage.
