Brother Don, the First Lady and brother Borden.

Originally, we had children at our La Ermita site, but we closed our home in April 2004.

Since then, we have served as a supportive ministry to Jimmy Hughes Ministries' Children's Home.

Jimmy Hughes works with the First Lady, Senora Aguas Ocana de Maduro. She is responsible for Honduras' orphaned, abused and exploited children.

The children who come to Jimmy Hughes' home, come for many reasons. Some are witnesses to crimes; their family has been murdered. They will stay here until they testify and it is safe for a family member to claim them. Others come for safety and/or have no family to claim them; they will stay until someone adopts them.

Others come because they are at social risk - i.e. being used as prostitutes or in child pornography or are abused and taken advantage of. They will stay until a safe family member claims them or until they are adopted.

And yet others come because they have been abandoned. If a family member can't be found to claim them, they will stay until they are adopted. Some children may never be adopted and they will stay until they grow up.
