What it reported doing in 2025
International outreach program: Our volunteers of 10 members went to our San Felipe, Mexico Orphanage to deliver Goods to 50 orphans of ages 6 through 18. Our outreach reaches into some of the poorest areas of the community, where many homes are built from scrap materials. We distribute food, essential supplies, goodie bags for children, while also stepping in to help improve living conditions.We traveled by personal vehicles and RVs and set-up base camps at RV parks for approximately a week two times a year to render scheduled plan services.We support a local women's shelter by bringing food, supplies and encouragement. This shelter faithfully serves seniors, single individuals with disabilities, and families.
