At Casa Bernabe children find acceptance, stability and healing in the love of Jesus. Casa Benabe is a beautiful 13-acre campus near Guatemala City that is home to more than 150 children. All of the children come out of difficult living situations. Some are orphans, others have been abandoned, others abused. Despite their past, these children are FULL of JOY! This is an opportunity for you to experience the “religion that our Father accepts as pure and faultless.”
Join us as we intentionally live out life with these incredible children, participating in such activities as: playing games, special projects, daily chores, bible study, sports, tutoring, praying together, and much, much more! In addition, you will have the opportunity to pour into the lives of the men and women whom care for these children on a daily basis.
