The Miracle of Serving

The Miracle of Serving

Below are opportunities to serve and help orphans personally. These projects were created with the entire family in mind and are child-friendly. We believe service is a way of life and children should be involved from an early age. We also feel we can never give as much as we receive. Serving is a wonderful glimpse into the heart of God.

Caring Hearts
Every few months we collect items for an orphanage. We are currently looking for people to sponsor boys at Rancho San Juan Bosco Orhanage in Tecate, Mexico. As a sponsor, you would be assigned a child and then purchase an outfit and shoes for your child.

Monetary donations are also accepted and appreciated. We will be collecting items and donations from now until the end of November. Please make checks payable to Hill of Hope. In the memo section, please write Miracle of Adoption Ministry.

Mail to checks to:

Hill of Hope
5211 Lakeview Avenue
Yorba Linda, CA 92886

World Vision Educational Kits
Education is one of the greatest ways to end the cycle of poverty. We are partnering with World Vision (www.worldvision.org) to make school kits for children who are orphaned, abandoned or that live in extreme poverty. You can make an entire kit or just pick a few items to provide. Our goal is to make 100 kits throughout the year!

Kits includes:
• One package (7 or 8 count) wooden pencils without designs
• One package (10 or 12 count) ball point pens-blue or black ink
• Two 6 x 9-inch steno notebooks
• One pencil sharpener
• One large pink eraser
• One package (24 count ONLY) regular-size crayons
• One 12-inch ruler with metric measurements
• A greeting card signed by YOU!

Atria De Palma Retirement Home
Our group visits Atria De Palma Retirement Home located in Placentia, CA on a monthly basis. We spend time with the seniors and bring them small gifts. We believe that the elderly are a precious group and have a lot to offer to us and our children. We also want them to know that they are not forgotten. For more information, contact kacie@miracleofadoption.org

Rancho San Juan Bosco Orphanage, Mexico
Located in Tecate, Mexico (just across the border) we visit this orphanage with our families once a quarter, taking food and cleaning supplies. A boys orphanage that generally houses between 25 to 40 children at any given time, we take day trips down to play with the boys and have time to fellowship. For more information, contact kacie@miracleofadoption.org

Hope Foster Home, China www.hopefosterhome.com
Caring for ill and physically disabled orphans in China, Hope Foster Home receives children from private or government run Children’s Welfare Institutes. They currently care for over 100 medically needy orphans. We support their work by raising money, supplies and medical volunteers. A 2008 trip is in discussion.
