Casa Bernabe' is an orphanage that was founded in the early 1980"s after the civil war to provide for the spiritual and physical necessities of orphaned, abandoned, or high risk/neglected children. Casa Bernabe' provides an environment where God is the focus. There is a church on the premises as well as a school. The children receive a wonderful education that is Bible based. That way if these children were to be taken away the Truth of God's love and plan can work in their lives and will be planted in their hearts forever.

This trip involves Mission Trip Workers providing support/relief to the overworked staff giving them time to get refreshed. Workers will help to catch up on everyday life chores such as taking care of children, cooking, cleaning, laundry, gardening, maintenance (plumbing, electrical, etc...), and possibly working on the building of the new medical facility.

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse, an international Christian relief organization headed by Franklin Graham that collects gift-filled shoe boxes and delivers them in the name of Jesus Christ to children living in desperate situations around the world.

Every day boys and girls worldwide suffer from war, poverty, disease, and natural disaster. Operation Christmas Child makes it possible for millions of these children to experience God's love through shoe boxes filled with gifts. These shoe boxes open doors for presenting the Good News of Jesus Christ by working in and through local churches where possible, offering children's literature and through culturally appropriate evangelistic and follow-up programs. One of the things that makes Operation Christmas Child so special is its emphasis on kids helping kid. This project provides a simple, tangible way for children and teenagers, to join adults in sharing the joy of giving to children around the world at Christmas.
