A happy family with parents and five children posing on a bench indoors.

Directors

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.  


Cole took his first mission trip to Casa De Mi Padre in 2014. In 2015, he took a 3-month discernment trip to Casa De Mi Padre where God confirmed that He was calling calling Cole to the mission field, and he's been with Child Rescue ever since. Cole and Sarah were married in 2018. In 2026, they became the directors of Casa de Mi Padre.

Edgar Lionel Hernandez Urizar

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 why 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 staff 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.

Juan and Fermina Liseth Jax

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.


Juan recently 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.

Simri Jocabed Yackelyn Hernández Tiriquiz

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 says, "God specializes in the impossible, knowing that I am only an instrument to carry out his divine purpose."

Claudia Ara de Arguetara

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 she gives a book 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.

Feliza

House Keeper


Feliza is a native of Santa Cruz del Quiche, having been born and raised here her whole life. She first came to know of the ministry of Casa De Mi Padre though her local church, La Iglesia de El Pueblo de Dios. She joined our staff in August of 2012, as our housekeeper and assistant to the cook. 


She is a faithful follower of Jesus Christ filled with joy, and has the most infectious smile! She says the most favorite part of her job here at Casa De Mi Padre is making sure the house is clean and germ free for the kids. She is an absolute gem to work with and our house is happy to have her as a part of our staff.

Reina Isabel Jax Ixcoy

Childcare

 

My name is Reina Isabel Jax Ixcoy. I was born in 2000 in San Pedro Jocopilas. In 2012, I came to live at Casa De Mi Padre, due to various life circumstances. I am truly so grateful.


First, I am grateful to God, and Papa Shane, and Cole. Thanks to them, I began school for the first time. Years later, they gave me everything I needed, and I continued studying until I graduate as a Nursing Assistant.


Thanks to the aforementioned people, I am doing well. Something very important they taught me is the Word of God. I currently work at Casa de Mi Padre. And the truth is, I feel really good taking care of the children.  Every smile and hug is so special. I'm just doing something that Papa Shane and Cole once did for me. They took care of me. They gave me love, patience, and their time. That's why I try to give back what they once gave me when I needed it. Every stage of each child's life is so special. 


I consider myself a very outgoing, cheerful person. I always think I'm charismatic, sociable, fun, and caring.
