Huge Success for the Family Trip 
  
17 1st timers joined us to build a large laundry room and creatively paint some walls in the girl's home with fantastic results! Check Video Link Here  Fun was had by all and even though it was hot (it was the middle of June), a lot was accomplished, we had a lot of fun, and got a lot of smiles from our new friends.  26 HEROES stepped out of their comfort zone and came ready to serve and help where they could.  Great meals were provided at both Angeles de Dios, and Esperanza Viva Children's Homes outside of Matamoros, Mexico.

Someone say GOLF ? 
 

   

It is still time to hit the course, or hit the clubs, or even try to hit the ball at the 3rd Annual HERO Makers Golf Tournament in the Kansas City area!  
     

 

 Check the flyer out here! 

 

  

The projects on our trips don't happen without some folks getting out of their comfort zones and coming down to help construct something that will last for generations to help children at risk.

These fundraising events provide for the materials that our Go Team uses for that construction.  YOU CAN BE A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THAT! 

     

I hear people all the time say, "Well, I don't play golf"!  Well, I bet you know someone who does play.  Share this event with them and challenge them to participate.

 

Since this Day of Golf is really about raising funds for projects (where 100% of the amount raised is used for materials), more $$ comes from Hole Sponsors and Auction Item donors.  If the company you work for, or own, would really like to make an impact on the future, there are many different ways to help.  

 

Do you  have a service that could be donated as an auction item?

 

Do you know of a rare trip for two, a vacation home, or autographed sports memorabilia that could be an auction item?

 

Are you or your company looking for marketing ideas?  Donate giveaway golf balls, ball markers, golf towels, raffle items.

 

It all adds up and really helps makes a difference in why we are walking on this earth.  These kids need our help, and you can be a part of that help!

 

Bless you and thank you in advance for helping to make this event more of a success

 

Child Sponsorship
 
Any Idea What It Takes To Run A Children's Home?

Many of you support children somewhere in the world today.  We praise the Lord for your obedience to His word to give to the work for His kids. 

It does take money to keep a home for children open and safe, and we want to encourage those of you who are not giving monthly to consider a monthly commitment (click here for Partial Sponsorship ($33) or (here for Full Sponsorship ($63), to support the children at Angeles de Dios or Esperanza Viva in Mexico.  
Fun with Kids
Now we don't want anyone to  drop the current support of a  child through any other organization because we know that they need the help.  But we challenge you to share the needs of these two children's homes with others who might be able to assist.  And, if it is possible, consider picking up another child sponsorship for yourself as well.


 

How Can You Know - Until You Go?
 
It's time to go
School Thank You 
Ready to go?  Trip dates for our 2014 Men's Trips are up on the HERO Makers Website. Be a part of what it means to get out of your comfort zone and go!  Sign up for one of the weeks now so that you can be updated as we get closer.

Whenever I get to this point in the year of challenging others to come down, I remember my first trip over 25 years ago.  I was already familiar with the poverty in Mexico and living conditions there.  What hit me most that first trip was the hope that I saw in the people we were serving, and the strong faith they had that the Lord was able to meet their needs! 

In the early years, before we became fulltime in the ministry, the trip was a yearly reminder of how blessed we have been just being born on this side of the border.  It also was a reality check as to how I was stewarding the money the Lord had provided to me. 

Custom trips can be arranged.

If you would rather we facilitate a special trip for you and 9 of your friends, please don't hesitate to contact us.  There is always something to do at these children's homes.  You will be blessed for it!
 
Every little bit helps!
