Cole and Sarah McCauley

Cole and Sarah desire that one day, not only the city of Quiché, but the country of Guatemala and other nations around the world will be reached by the disciples God is raising at Casa De Mi Padre. Cole and Sarah have a deep desire to raise faithful and educated disciples of Christ.  

As their responsibilities with the ministry have grown over the last few years, the McCauleys have taken on more of the financial burden of the mission work in faith that God will continue to provide to carry on the work whether through one-time gifts or monthly supporters. Please join them in praying for this need.

For more specific details about their financial responsibilities and needs contact them at mccauleys@childrescueint.org.

Director of Operations

Edgar is the Director of Operations. He worked for 6 years directing the evangelism department of his church, and has known God for more than 20 years. He started working at Casa de Mi Padre in November 2021. Before that, he worked as a human resources manager for 10 years, but he wanted to do something that would turn his life around and was more significant than just earning money for material things. That is how he contacted Casa de Mi Padre, because what he longed for was to serve the Lord. 

He is in charge of administrative needs, giving guidance to help the workers to do their best. His greatest desire is that he can be a useful instrument for the work of the Lord, to be able to make God's love known to all, and be a blessing to our children.

House Parents for the Girls

Juan and Fermina Liseth Jax met as children at Casa de Mi Padre, a place that was a source of great blessings in their lives. Over time, they slowly got to know each other and eventually realized that God had answered their prayers: they were destined to marry and share a life together.

Before getting married, they both felt the desire to work for Casa de Mi Padre, with the goal of providing love, care, and support to the children, thus replicating the love and attention they themselves had received. After getting married, they began working as the house parents for the girls' home, dedicated to serving by taking on their care and training.

Regarding his academic background, Juan graduated with a degree in Business Administration and is currently studying English. Fermina Liseth has a degree in accounting and is currently studying Public Accounting and Auditing at university. In addition to her work as a house parent, Fermina Liseth is the administrator of the Bible Quiz program that meets at Casa de Mi Padre and includes additional teenagers from the area.

Together, Juan and Fermina Liseth represent an example of dedication, service, and love, committed to the children and young people of the children’s home, as well as to their own academic and spiritual growth.

Psychologist

Simri currently works as a psychologist. She passionate about therapeutic counseling. Throughout her life, she's been interested in caring for children, and this is how she pursued it professionally. When she saw so many talented children, she saw a world of possibilities.

At the age of 8, Simri met Jesus, which is why her love of learning and teaching has been a long journey. She is an elementary school teacher, specializing in human behavior. She is currently receiving training in childcare, persevering in learning and updating techniques to give her best in each session. At the same time, she is in the final stages of her degree in Theology, for the love of the word and truth.

Each child who attends a therapeutic appointment is a world of experiences, where we can observe changes step by step. Knowing that they can overcome traumas with resilience has been an inspiring part of strengthening their self-esteem and psycho-emotional skills to project themselves toward a better future.

She conclude with this phrase: "God specializes in the impossible, knowing that I am only an instrument to carry out his divine purpose."

Administrative Assistant and Coordinator of Extracurricular Activities

Claudia is our Administrative Assistant and Coordinator of Extracurricular Activities at Casa de Mi Padre. She is a very strong Christian who loves God. Thirty five years ago, she began working for the Lord, working with children, training pastors, and working with women. She taught our children at the Christian school they used to attend, where she met them and always showed great love towards them. 

During the pandemic, the education program was changed at Casa de Mi Padre, and she started as director of education in our house and continues to show the great love that she has for God and for children. She is aware of the great responsibility she has with our children, and she always tries to teach them in the best way possible. Her greatest wish is that each child in Casa de Mi Padre would know about God's love. She gives devotionals during the week and uses a book that she gives to each child so that they can continue studying the Bible. She is like a mother to the children and is always looking for them to be better every day.

Childcare

Paulina had a difficult childhood as her parents were always fighting. She was filled with fear and sadness as she struggled with no meaning to her life. When she was 12, her family moved across the street from Casa de Mi Padre where she met Cole McCauley. Cole shared about God and became a Christian father figure. During this time, she also met the children who lived at Casa de Mi Padre.

When Paulina was 19, she started working at Casa de Mi Padre taking care of the children. God placed a passion in her heart to take care of the beautiful children and watching them grow. She asks God to help her love and care for the children to the best of her ability.
