Mission Statement: 

We are an orphanage providing all necessities of life for approximately 32 abandoned children in southern Sonora State, Mexico. We aim to provide a Christian home environment with the children living in 4 homes in our 5 acre compound. They have Christian (Mexican employee) houseparents,attend elementary school on site, and worship regularly in our on site chapel. Older children attend school in the nearby village, or some are in the dormitory at a church-affiliated sceondary schoolabout 40 miles away,and where,currently we are building a replacement orphanage facility, due to our current site being dangerously contaminated with pesticides.
Through our personal witness, and guidance, we hope to transform lives, and when the young people leave us (hopefully not till they have finished high school), they will have accepted Jesus as their personal Saviour. and be able to function well in society as committed Christians.
