WELCOME TO THE LIFE OF A CHILD IN GUATEMALA.
Are you ready to be a defender?
IN psalm 82:3, we are called to "Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed."
our mission is clear.
We are here to champion justice on behalf of the marginalized, oppressed, and orphaned. We stand beside them, speak up for them, and take responsibility for their well-being. This is what embodies The Good News.
Every year, from October to November, we issue a heartfelt call to all advocates, supporters, partners, and community members to unite for a common cause. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of the children in Guatemala.
Not everyone is called to adopt or open their homes, and for the children in Guatemala, these options are often not available. So, how can you become the hands and feet of justice for them? The answer is simple: Show up.
For some, it means partnering with us from a distance, meeting needs from afar. For others, it involves taking a plane and physically being there to shower God's children with love. Our calls may vary, but our purpose remains constant: to defend the cause of the fatherless.
THE PUZZLE PIECE PROJECT
1,500 piece puzzle X $20 a piece = $30,000 TO HOPE
We've chosen a 1,500-piece puzzle where each piece represents someone standing up for the children and families we serve.
Sponsor a Piece: For just $20, you can sponsor one (or more) puzzle pieces.
Leave Your Mark: Your name will be written on the back of each piece you sponsor.
A Lasting Reminder: Once the puzzle is complete, it will be framed and displayed at Casa Bernabé as a beautiful reminder of the impact of collective giving and representation of the global body of Christ.
Join us in making a difference, one piece at a time!
Sponsorship
HOPE SPONSORSHIP
$10 PER MONTH
We don’t believe poverty is a reason for families to be separated. While we work with each family to find a solution to reunification you can help by meeting some of the immediate needs our children have when they are placed in our care. Beyond the immediate material needs, this sponsorship helps to make sure their nutritional, medical, and psychological needs are immediately addressed.
EDUCATION SPONSORSHIP
$60 PER MONTH
Our school, more than any of our other ministries, is having the biggest impact on interrupting the poverty cycle. By providing a generation of Guatemalans with a quality education, we hope to replace a vicious cycle with a virtuous one. Instead of poverty sowing seeds for still more poverty, education today will create an environment that leads to opportunities and education for successive generations.
CHILD & FAMILY SPONSORSHIP
$90 PER MONTH
Child and Family Sponsorship allows you, as a sponsor, a relationship with the entire house, not just one child. And for our children, they ALL are sponsored. No matter how long they are with us, each of them knows that thousands of miles away, they have someone who cares for them, someone who prays for them.
Pray with us.
Our 31-day prayer guide, Hope Rising, gives you the opportunity to join a community of intercessors and actively contribute to defending the cause through prayer by raising up specific requests for Casa Bernabe and Guatemala as a whole.
