The New Casa de Mi Padre
Main Building
The main building will be set up with staff offices, a large dining room and kitchen for all the staff and children to eat meals together and to have enough space for mission teams to participate in activities. There will also be living quarters to house the Director and his family.
Individual Family Homes
The four family homes on site will allow house parents more individual time with the children and create a family style atmosphere for the children to grow and learn.
Casa #3 is nearly completed!
Here are some specific projects that will help us wrap up this smaller home:
Kitchen cabinets: $6,034
Laundry room cabinets: $842
Living room bookcase: $782
Four bedroom closets: $8,112
Three desks and chairs: $1,855
Our Vision
Our Past
Shane Sanderson founded Child Rescue International in 2010. He felt the call to international missions, specifically to orphan care, and eventually discovered the great need for a children's home in Santa Cruz del Quiche, Guatemala. At that time, there was no orphanage in the city. He teamed up with a local Guatemalan church, and Child Rescue was born.
Within the first two months he had sixteen children living at Casa de Mi Padre! Within a few years, more people were catching on to the vision and heart of the mission.
Our Present
In 2016, the owner of the home we rent decided to sell it. Thus began Shane's dream of building a home created to meet the needs of the growing ministry!
Our Future
It's a slow process, but every day we are taking steps toward our future to make it a reality! Instead of having one large home, we plan to have a small village of four family-sized homes with a common house to take meals together and for school.
We will still function as one big family, but will also have small family units with house parents in each home. We are so excited about where the Lord is leading us! Will you join us in investing in the future of Case de Mi Padre and the future of the children we serve?
