Streams in the Wasteland

Thank you for your heart to help these children! There are so many different ways that you can get involved. You can also click here to see if there is currently a more specific opportunity.

External religious worship [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world.
~ James 1:27 (Amplified Bible)

Join us in prayer!

I strongly believe the most important way you can be involved is by joining us in prayer. Our Father says we don’t have because we don’t ask, so please join me in asking our mighty God for the things He is placing on our hearts.

Help keep me here with the kids!

I don’t have many personal expenses as I am here to bless the kids. One way you can do this too is by supporting me so that I can stay here with them and essentially be your hands and feet. When my own expenses are met, I use the extra to further the projects we’re doing or to simply bless the kids just as a father would do. As I am pursuing a Psychology degree in order to equip myself for the serious needs of these children, I would also humbly accept support in that most costly endeavor.

Sponsor a child

What a change you can make in one child’s life by ensuring their needs are met and that someone is loving them from even far away. As our children come from broken families and we as staff are quite outnumbered, your one-on-one attention can literally change the path a child takes in life.

Donate a need or gift online

You can make a child’s day in Mexico without even leaving your chair! Although the kids have learned to get by on very little, your gift of one of the following items will truly bless them and let them know they are loved. I would love to send you pictures of the kids actually enjoying what you give along with letters of thanks from them.

$40 – New Bible engraved specifically for a child	$10 - About one CD worth of fresh worship music	$30 – Trip for a new outfit or needed clothing item for a child	$35 – Trip for a new pair of shoes for a child
Donate items to teach and grow the kids	Donate fun items from the kids’ wish list

Sponsor a fun event or outing

I believe the most frequently stated phrase among children around the world is “I’m bored.” You can help us fight this epidemic by sponsoring a party inside the home or a fun outing. Many times these events will be used to reward children with outstanding behavior, to acknowledge an accomplishment in their lives, or to simply give them more personal attention. I would love to send you pictures of the kids enjoying what you give along with letters of thanks from them.

$20 – Trip out to lunch for one-on-one time with a child	$15 – Party/movie night at the home with snacks, drinks, ice cream, etc., 1 dormitory	$40 – Party/movie night at the home with snacks, drinks, ice cream, etc., all of the children	$30 – Ice cream to treat all of the children in the home
$25 – Night at the movies with snacks for about 5 children	$50 – Dinner and game tokens at Peter Piper Pizza for about 5 children	$30 – Pizza party at the home for 1 dormitory	$100 – Pizza party at the home for all the children

Mail us a donation

You may also mail us letters, checks, and packages at the following addresses. Just let us know if it’s a general donation, for a specific purpose, or for a specific child. Likewise, I would love to send you pictures of the kids actually receiving your gifts along with letters of thanks from them.

Contribute your expertise and resources

There are many projects going on that perhaps interest you as well. There are times when I wish I knew an expert of something, had a number to call to ask a question, or had a good contact to help get something rolling. I would love to add you to our network across the world of those united for the sake of these children.

Come visit the kids

Every year our children look forward to visitors and the many various ways they bless them. It could be a simple hug that a child remembers lifelong or the start of a relationship that lasts lifelong. Either way, our visitors change our kids forever, and our kids usually do the same to you. Whether you are single or in a large group, we can accommodate you and allow you to see how special these children are firsthand.

Come join our team!

Perhaps the most dramatic way you can make a difference in our children’s lives is to make quite a change in your own! If you believe God is calling you to minister face-to-face with our children for an extended period of time, we are all ears as to what God is placing on your heart.
