Magdalena - Casa Vida y Esperanza
Casa Vida y Esperanza (CVE), located in Magdalena de Kino, Sonora, is our newest Mexico project and is located about 50 miles south of Nogales, AZ. This orphanage project was started by Apostolic Christian brethren under the direction of the World Relief Committee, the Mission Committee, with the support of the Elder Body. The English name of the orphanage is The House of Life and Hope. The Staff members all belong to the Apostolic Christian Church with the exception of some local Mexican helpers. The project began with the purchase of a 25 acre property that was to be used for the Lord’s work.
The first children arrived in February 2005, and today there are 22 children living on campus that have a new hope for life. The Lord has provided staff to meet the needs of these children. Scheduled work teams throughout the year are a blessing physically and spiritually for the CVE family and church community. Perimeter housing and a new church building (for the congregation of over 100 that fill the services every Sunday), as well as ongoing maintenance needs, are the current projects for the visiting work teams.
