Children of Casa Hogar Elim

One of the partnerships we’ve formed at Beachside Community Church is with Casa Hogar Elim in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Casa Hogar Elim is an amazing orphanage that provides for about 100 children. The orphanage was started in the home of “Mama Lupita” and still survives solely on the support of individuals and churches. In October, 2010, we are carrying 15 of the older children from the orphanage ON a mission trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mx. That’s another story altogether (you can find more info here). But, before we go to Puerto Vallarta, we are going to be spending a week at Casa Hogar Elim loving on all of these kids and doing some light construction work.

July 17-24, 2010 we will be partnering with Shalimar United Methodist Church for this project. One of the things I love to do most is introduce new people to Casa Hogar Elim, and most of the people of SUMC and Beachside have never met these beautiful children. I can’t wait to see the smiles, hear the stories, watch new friendships form, and witness God’s grace pour out through His people to His people. It’s going to be awesome!

If you’re looking for an opportunity to trade a week of your vacation for one of the most rewarding experiences you could imagine, then you need to prayerfully consider this trip. Details will be put on the website soon, or you can email info@beachsidecc.org anytime.
