We had a fantastic and "memorable" weekend serving the Gabriel House Orphanage and the surrounding villages of Southern Ensenada. Hard working teams from LA and San Diego successfully removed the dilapidated roof of the orphanage that had been originally secured with tar - this was no easy feat! Our mission also included a relational focus as the group did an amazing job loving and caring for the precious children that reside in the orphanage. Teams also participated in the feeding programs at Agua Viva and donated clothing and shoes to many needy families in the surrounding villages. We deeply enjoyed cultivating our relationships among our mission team by visiting our favorite hot spots like Tacos Pablanos and La Buffadora eateries. The weekend was one filled with joyful service as we labored side-by-side, shared many laughs and made new friends.
Spring Break 2011
This month we welcomed two phenomenal groups from the Palos Verdes region who each gave the gift of a new home to impoverished families in Southern Ensenada. These teams comprised of loving families, sacrificially spent their spring break "giving things up" and "giving to" those in need. What an incredible way to prepare for Easter and celebrate the renewal we have in Christ by renewing the lives of others!
