 The Casa de ninos,

 
or House of the Children     
 

Please visit the Casa at:http://www.casadeninos.org/index.html
to see the kids and learn more about the vision and some of the available opportunities to serve, but for now a little about the Casa’s history.

The following paragraph is borrowed from the History page
at the Casa’s web site:

"While ministering in the prison in Tepic in 1968, the late Dr. Frank Gonzales saw several little boys among the inmates. Upon questioning the warden, he was told that the boys were homeless street children. Since there was no children's home in the entire state of Nayarit, they had no choice but to put the boys in with the adult prisoners. Right there the Lord placed the burden on Frank's heart to open a home for orphaned and abandoned children. In 1970 because of God's faithfulness and many caring people, ground was broken for the Casa de Niños. Frank traveled throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico with his singing group, spreading the "good news" of the gospel of Jesus Christ and raising support for the orphanage. On April 6, 1994, Frank was called to his eternal reward, but the vision God gave him for the children lives on at Casa de Niños Frank Gonzales."

There are certainly many very worthy ministries meeting a number of very important needs in this world and I am truly thankful for each and every one of them.  If you have read this far then I am pretty sure you are too. Having said that I must say that personally I can think of few things having greater importance than giving kids a chance who otherwise would not have one. This is what happens at the Casa every day. Orphaned, abandoned, and abused kids are given a chance. A chance to be fed and sheltered, a chance to be educated, a chance to be held, comforted and loved by giving and unselfish individuals who genuinely care. Most importantly these kids are given a chance to learn about a loving Lord and savior who desires and is able to heal those things that are broken. 

   Jesus said  “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God". I see this happening in a very real and tangible way at the Casa and if you hang around long enough you  will too.

Would You Like To help the kids      by going on a Fishin Mission ? 

 Fishin Mission Adventures was established in order to help you do just that. The first 25cents of every dollar you spend on your fishin mission adventure goes directly to the Casa for the care and support of the kids. All remaining funds are used for operational costs. It’s as simple as that.
