Missions
"Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow." Isaiah 1:17 [NIV]
Global Outreach
By reaching out to the orphans in Benin, Africa and San Pedro Sula, Honduras, we are fulfilling our call to "defend the cause of the fatherless." Each summer our mission teams transport much needed medical supplies, school materials and hearts bursting with love to the children who have stolen our hearts.

Africa
It is our mission to share the light and love of Christ with the hurting and orphaned in Africa. Each summer we lead a team to Benin, West Africa to work in the villages and at Arbre de Vie (Tree of Life) Orphanage. We've fallen in love with the children and workers - and you will too!

Honduras
Each year Su Cagle leads a team to San Pedro Sula to work in an orphanage for infants and small children [Nueva Esperanza] and an orphanage for teenagers [Mujeres Adolescentes]. It's heart breaking work but the benefits are infinite. The mission team partners with the orphange workers to lead a Spanish VBS, feed and care for infants, direct arts & crafts and complete clean-up and painting projects. The main goal during each visit is to leave each child with the knowledge that they are loved...there is hope.
