Thankfulness. We honored to stand beside so many of you in your faithful service to God and His call to love and care for the orphan. Join us in praising God for the work that He continues to do through the Church!

Listen in on HIS provision in Honduras and the opportunity to join the work through sponsorship...

Centro Vida Construction Complete // HONDURAS

Please enjoy this video featuring Honduras' brand new multi-purpose building, Centro Vida, which includes assembly space as well as a large kitchen. This building is just part of the incredible work going on in Honduras to equip over 575 vulnerable children & young adults with not only the Gospel, but hope for a future!
It's exciting to see Centro Vida's completion on Plan Escalon's 25th anniversary of serving orphans and vulnerable children.

Want to see more updates at Plan Escalon? Check out the kitchen renovation video thanks to the amazing help from our partners at Retail Orphan Initiative.


You Matter to Me // CHILD SPONSORSHIP

When choosing a sponsor child, Vicki noticed that Lesly was an older student, but in a younger grade. Vicki intentionally chose to sponsor Lesly, understanding that something had happened in her life to cause her to fall behind. She wanted Lesly to know she cared and believed in her.
Listen in as Vicki, member of Retail Orphan Initiative, meets the students she sponsors at Plan Escalon and the impact that it is making not only in her heart, but in the heart of her sponsored children...

Before I get Too Behind!

I cant believe it is time for school to start already! Although my Mom and Sis have already been back almost a month! Both of the kids will be going T & Th starting this Thursday! They are both so excited, and I am too. I love shopping for new school supplies and getting my calendar filled in with all of the fun activities they will get to do this year. We had orientation last week, and I loved both of their sets of teachers. I think it is going to be a really good year! Now, the rest of our summer looked something like this: WP_20130705_018 WP_20130705_008 WP_20130705_005 Preston says, “First we play, then we relax!”WP_20130704_024 WP_20130704_016WP_20130704_021  WP_20130704_012 WP_20130704_006 WP_20130704_004 Sometimes you just need a smore for breakfast!
