About Casa Hogar

 For more than 20 years, Pan De Vida has given children in Matamoros Mexico a loving, Christian home. Just 6 miles south of the U.S. border, life is very different. Children of Mexico are not orphaned when their parents cannot provide for them because preserving the family, "La Familia," is considered more important than adoption. Casa Hogar Pan De Vida is a shelter where mothers can come with their young children and where families will send their children for care during hard times due to lifestyle choices and poverty.  A child's stay may be temporary or long-term.  Children are given clothes, food, shelter, education, and love in a Biblical context.  

 

Faithfulness to a calling

My original calling was to be a missionary in Mexico City.  I had just finished bible school and the Lord laid on my heart to go to Mexico City. I had no idea what I was going to do when I got there.
Once there I started teaching biblical studies.  Within two years those studies grew into a church of over one hundred people.  After seven years the Lord enabled me to open a home for desperate people.  The calling was to help people suffering from drug addiction, alcoholism, prostitution and other needs of the spirit.  These people needed a home that supplied not only physical needs but spiritual healing as well.  Soon after that, I was called to open a home in Matamoros.
