Returning to Hogar de Amor

T-minus 20 days until we leave for Mexico!!!

Our time serving and forming relationships with the kids and caregivers of the Hogar de Amor Orphanage has been a life-changing highlight of every year. Jamie, Sam, and Ben are excited to return to Mexico again this year and Sasha is thrilled to come with us for the first time! We’ll be traveling with 28 members of of our church family, CenterPoint Church, April 1-8, 2017.

Hogar de Amor Orphanage in Colima, Mexico is home to about 150 children from infants to teens. The orphanage is a ministry of Grupo Amor Church and actively seeks to protect and care for vulnerable local children. The church also continues to provide a home and support for teens as they pursue post-secondary education, as well as education, counseling, and rehabilitation for parents. It’s an amazing ministry.

Our time at Hogar de Amor over the years has been life-changing. It has changed our point of view on how to effectively alleviate poverty across the world and in our own community. These trips have given us the opportunity to support and encourage an amazing group of people who care for “the least of these” with every moment of every day. As a family, we are proud and grateful to support Hogar de Amor Orphanage with our time, prayer, and finances.

We value your support for this trip. More than anything, we are ask for your prayers for us, our team, and those we visit. Please pray for good health, smooth travel, great attitudes, and that our work would be effective and encouraging for all who live at Hogar de Amor. The team will regularly post prayer requests, updates, photos, and reflections at CenterPointMexico.blogspot.com. Please follow along - you are an important member of our support team and we want to share the joys and struggles of this trip with you!

As a family, are grateful to be able to fund the cost of our airfare, room, and board for the trip. We invite you to join us in support the orphanage financially as well. If you choose to donate, your entire donation will go to Hogar de Amor by funding the projects and activities we will complete in Mexico and by directly supporting the care of the orphans. Checks can be made out to CenterPoint Church with a memo of “Mexico” and you can mail or give checks to Jamie or send them directly to CenterPoint Church. Instructions for giving electronically are found under “How Can I Help?” at the top of CenterPointMexico.blogspot.com.
