Wednesday's Child--Genesis

Genesis is an adorable 7 year old that came to live at Casa de Fe about a year ago with her younger brother Cristofer. Their mother brought them to Casa de Fe, because she was not able to afford to send them to school. Genesis is doing well in school now. Not only is she learning math, grammar, and social studies; Genesis is also learning English very quickly.

If you would like to sponsor Genesis for a gift of $45/month, please visit the Casa de Fe sponsorship page. When you become Genesis's sponsor, you will enable Casa de Fe to continue to provide all of her daily needs, and you will have the opportunity to establish a relationship with Genesis via email. 

Wednesday's Child--Sausti

Sausti is the boy half of our girl/boy twins here at Casa de Fe. He and his sister, Yarina, came to live at Casa de Fe when they were still infants. These two were born into a very poor family. The family was having a hard time feeding the many children they already had and felt they had no alternative except to give up their infant twins.

A developmentally on-target 2-year old, Sausti needs a sponsor. If you would like to help us provide daily care for Sausti, visit the Casa de Fe sponsorship page. Sponsorship commitments are only $45/month.

Meet the Staff Monday--the Becks!

If you haven't been to Casa de Fe lately, you may not recognize some of these newer faces. The Becks joined us at the end of the summer after spending six months in Quito for language school. Both originally from Georgia, Kyle and April--along with their daughters, Mary Kellen and Vivi Kate--have committed two years to serve at Casa de Fe.

 How long have you lived in Ecuador/worked at Casa de Fe?

We have lived in Ecuador since February, and have worked at CdF since August. 

What did you do before you came here?

Kyle was attending seminary in Louisville, Ky. and April was working at Kosair Children’s Hospital in the Emergency Department. 

Why did you come here?

We came here due to the Lord’s call in our lives to serve and minister based on the gifts He has bestowed on us. 

What is your job/role at Casa de Fe?

Kyle - Pastor/Chaplain    April - Nurse

What is your favorite thing about Ecuador/your job at CdF?

Our favorite thing about Ecuador is the people.  And our favorite thing about CdF is the relationships with the kids. 

How can our readers pray for you?

Pray for wisdom, patience, and obedience to the Lord’s calling.

 

Fundraising Friday--Sponsor a Child for Christmas

For the past several years, Casa de Fe has had a Christmas sponsorship program. This is your opportunity to help us provide Christmas--a special meal, a day of festivities, and a personal gift--for each child currently residing at Casa de Fe.

This year, we are offering the opportunity to sponsor two different age groups for two different dollar amounts. Our younger children can be sponsored for $35 each, and our older children for $50 each. 

This is a great opportunity for individuals who don't feel they can commit to our monthly sponsorship program, individuals that are committed to monthly sponsorship but want to do more, Sunday school classes and small groups, and even entire church bodies. In fact, the Christmas before we moved here, we challenged our church to sponsor ALL the kids at Casa de Fe for Christmas... and THEY DID! Perhaps your church could do the same!?

Wednesday's Child--Still Waiting for a Sponsor

These children are still waiting for a sponsor. If you are interested in sponsoring one of these precious ones, you can get more information at the Casa de Fe website. For only $45/month, you can help us provide for the daily needs of either Antony, Kuka, Giovani (Coco), Jose Luis, or Moises.

Wednesday's Child--Antony

Antony was found abandoned in a hotel room when he was 11 months old. Police were unable to find his parents, and so, he came to live at Casa de Fe. Antony is healthy, energetic, and (usually) happy. He is currently attending 3-year-old preschool here at Casa de Fe school.

Will you help us continue to provide for Antony? For only $45/month, you can become Antony's sponsor. Your money will help us to provide food, clothing, an education, and a future for Antony. You will also have the opportunity to establish a relationship with Antony via email. For more information, please visit our Child Sponsorship page.
