Casa Hogar Maximo Cornejo Quiroz Orphanage

Friday, March 23, 2012

I am so bad about posting on this blog. Well 2011 was a very busy year and we are now in 2012 and are seeing wonderful results with the children at both Casa Hogar Orphanage & AGAPE Home for Abused Girls. The children in my class (13) are starting to use the English they have been taught. The other day one of the 6 year old said "Dennis, please come here please." in perfect English. Of course, once the others saw me go directly to the girls it has now become a popular sentence. Hehe. We have seen so many wonderful changes in all the children but are continually faced with very terrible stories of abuse. Faye & I see our main reason for being in both locations is to show each child Jesus love.


AGAPE has now signed a 30 year lease for a boys home and we are starting to collect furniture, pots and pans etc. I am also seeking sponsors who can afford $10 per month to maintain a child's needs. This will be one of the first boys homes in Puerto Vallarta and there is a great need. The boys & girls are placed in all the facilities by DIF (Social Services). They are either found living on the streets under bridges begging for food, or have run away or thrown out of the homes because a boyfriend doesn't want to provide for them i.e. to many mouths to feed or a parent has physically abused them in some way.


AGAPE has now placed two girls into college, Marisa & Rebecca and we are so proud of them. We have now even started an neighborhood outreach at AGAPE where the children are taught an hour of English and then an hour of a bible story or scripture. We have employed two of our native Christian sisters in Christ, Lulu and Maria to help us.


Faye and I want to thank the many volunteers we get each year to help at Casa Hogar Orphanage. They are the main reason for the success of the teaching of English. Because there are always new children to teach it forces me to neglect the other children if I don't have volunteers for the newcomers. Our volunteers come from Canada, Mexico & the United States. We get individual, couples and church teams looking to bless the kids. We have folks coming on vacation and spending an hour with us and they are forever changed. I encourage you to bring your children so they can not only react with our children but also see how wonderful the life is that their own parents are providing for them. They will come away with a new realization of life in other countries and an appreciation of their own. 


Encourage your church mission teams to contact us and the Lord will provide them with information that may well change the lives of all who visit the orphanage & the AGAPE Home for Abused Girls. Even after 8 years the Lord continues to not only bless His Will, His Way Ministries but also continues to grow us as well.


No promises but I will try to post more often. One of our sponsors has also purchased an IPad 2 for the ministry so I can now started taking video's. Then I only have to figure out how to download them and send them. Maybe I can find a two year old to teach me how to do that as I am afraid I was born 40 years to late. Hehe. God bless.
