We started 2026 off with a bang and haven’t slowed down yet…..

The Lion Adventure invited us to spend two nights in the cabins and enjoy the park. We had such a fun time! There was zip lining, horseback riding, hiking, and much more!

Sunday, January 25th was “Baptism Sunday” where Juan Francisco baptized 13 of our church family. It was an amazing day. God is so good!

In March, the team from Lighthouse Fellowship in Texas came for a week. Our main project was to build a covered area for parking the van. We accomplished so much this week! We even got to spend the day at NISSI Extreme Adventure Park in Puebla. It was a little rainy and cold, but that didn’t stop the children from having a blast!

The church women sponsored a “GAP Women’s Breakfast” to celebrate Mother’s day. They focused on the words of 1Peter 3, verses 3-4. “Rather, let it be what proceeds from the inner depths of the heart, with the imperishable adornment of a gentle and serene spirit. This is precious in the sight of God.” Silvia led the discussions, and then there was a great meal and time of fellowship.

The church celebrated Mother’s Day as well. Silvia was able to continue celebrating all the hard work she does as a mother of so many. What a treat!

Summer is just around the corner. We have several preparing for graduation. More information to follow soon!

Last month, we had the privilege of celebrating Bill Lee and the 25 years of service he has dedicated to Casa Hogar. It was a wonderful night spent honoring Bill and hearing stories from those who attended about how Bill and Casa Hogar have influenced their lives.

Juan Francisco and Silvia were able to come to the United States for the party. They stopped in Fort Worth to spend a day with their Lighthouse Fellowship friends and then went on to South Carolina to attend the celebration for Bill. Although their time here was short, it was a great visit.

We currently have 4 students attending the university this year. Karen, Josue & Rodophlo will all graduate in 2026. Manuel just started in September and is doing extremely well and is really enjoying the experience.

Thank you to Lighthouse Fellowship Church and Fishersville UMC, for providing the students with school supplies and sock & shoes for this school year.

We would like to express our gratitude for the huge donation from “Beep” a company in Mexico. They distributed a huge van load of products to Casa Hogar. “Thank you” Beep, for your generosity.

Silvia held a “Women’s Breakfast” at the home with about 30 ladies from the church. It was a great time of food and fellowship.

Currently, Silvia & Juan are leading a time of 21 days fasting and prayer called “With All Our Hearts” with the congregation and 2 other churches. They also enjoying some food and fellowship together.

We want to share with you a little of what has happened at Casa Hogar. God has been so good and faithful, and we are very happy because at the end of this school year, several of our children have completed another stage of their studies, each having a very beautiful graduation. Chucho and Elizabeth finished elementary school, Krissia and Angelique finished middle school, and Manuel has finished high school and is ready to go to college. Additionally, some of our girls participated in the graduation with some dances. After all the graduations, we had a beautiful party at Casa for all our graduates. We are infinitely grateful to God for providing for each one of them in everything, and to all of you, friends and siblings, who with so much love support all our children so that they have the opportunity to have a very different life and a better future. May God continue to bless you greatly, and together let us support our children at Casa Hogar La Familia. ❤️

This July, Dany and Eunice, son of Juan Fco and Silvia, got married. The wedding was beautiful, and the whole family enjoyed a wonderful evening. 

ENCENDIDOS CAMP 2025

2 Timothy 1:6

This was the motto of the youth camp. Thank God we had a wonderful time with the youth. Even though some of them couldn’t attend because of the start of university classes, it was a great blessing. We had a lot of fun, learned more about the word, ate a lot, and our friendships grew stronger. It was a wonderful time with the youth.

We want to send a big “thank you” to Fishersville UMC, for supplying us with socks and shoes for the new school year.

Thank You

CASA HOGAR NEWSLETTER – February, 2025

Happy New Year! A lot has happened in the last few months of 2024. Here’s a wrap up!

We are so happy to announce the progress both Josue and Rodolfo have made at the UTP University. They have both completed the first stage of the degree process and graduated as technicians in December of 2024. Now onto the degree portion of the process which should take approximately 2 additional years. 

Rodolfo came to the home at the age of 3 in 2006 and has worked hard in his studies to be able to attend the University. Rodolfo finished the technical portion of his degree in Automotive Systems and will be working towards achieving his BA degree in Engineering.

Josue graduation

Josue arrived at the home with his 4 siblings at the age of 7 in 2006. Josue completed the technical portion of the degree process in December in Mechatronics and will be working towards achieving his BA degree in Engineering.

We thank God for both gentlemen and the donors who have helped to make their educational dreams come true.

In December we had a team from Fishersville, VA come and spend a week here at the home. We accomplished several projects. We made gingerbread houses, played games, had donkey races and much more. We even took the children to the movies and arcade. So much fun!!!

Fishersville UMC purchased 2 computers and presented them to Abbey & Manuel who will be attending college in the spring.

Finally, Christmas! What an amazing time celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ with food, fellowship and games!

In January we welcomed little Vanessa to our home.
