Almsgiving for Lent
Emmanuel Children’s Home
Almsgiving is the act of giving to those in need as a tangible expression of Christian love. This year the focus of our giving is going toward the Emmanuel Children’s Home in Juarez, Mexico. Emmanuel Children’s Home is an oasis of hope in one of the world’s most dangerous cities. They provide a loving, safe, and God-centered home for some of Juarez’s most vulnerable children.
3 Ways You Can Give
One-Time Gift:
After losing their building to a fire in 2020, Emmanuel Children’s Home is building a new school! Click HERE to donate online. For more information about the home, go to www.emmanueljuarez.org
Sponsor a Child:
$45.00 / month – Sponsor Now
Not only will you provide for a child’s needs, but you will be able to interact with your child and develop a real relationship that will bless both you and the child. Just $45 a month joins you with 5 other sponsors to provide for his or her care in the Children’s Home.
You may consider giving more to help with the complete cost of their care in the home ($270 a month per child) and their educational costs in the school ($100 a month per child).
Visit the Home:
Join us this July as we visit the Home and provide needed programming for the children as well as work on projects to improve and restore their facilities. For more information or to register CLICK HERE.
