2018 Mid-Year Report from missionary family in Guatemala. Our ministry has grown substantially, not just in the numbers of those we serve, but in depth and scope.
Orphan Care – Beyond Orphanages, serving for a lifetime. Lessons about orphan care from a missionary in Guatemala. When does our ministry end? When do we check someone we have been serving off our list and consider them “mission accomplished”? All too often in many orphanages and children’s homes, the moment they walk out the door they are forgotten.
Anyone can love when it’s easy; but, it’s how we respond when things are hard, that truly demonstrates the heart of God. Serving orphans and vulnerable children in Guatemala, we have had to figure out how to do this right.
That is the whole story of redemption. Starting in the beginning, in the garden. The universe was meant to be our home, it was created as the place where the image bearers of God would rule and serve under their Father.
Learning can be fun. At Cadaniño we give students a space where they feel safe, secure, and loved. We create an environment that empowers students to discover their God-given gifts and abilities and use them to their greatest potential in a way that glorifies God.
Vulnerable children can truly relate to the story of Joseph. Loss, pain, suffering, betrayal, and hardship are all things they face in their lives. Seeing how God used everything he went through, to bring good, not just in his life, but in everyone around him, is vital for them to learn.
It's so exciting to see at all that God has accomplished through Cadaniño so far this year. Read on to find out how lives are being changed for eternity!
Ministry to the mothers of our students, encouraging them, serving them, ministering to them, and celebrating the job they do each and every day, is central to the mission of Cadaniño.
