Casa de Hogar - Tijuana Orphanage
“God called me, and I saw people in need - kids in the streets, some on drugs or sexually abused. I need to help kids so they don't have the same life as their mother. I can't help everybody. I can do a little.”
-- Carmen González

“Dejad a los Niños venire a mi, y no se los impidais porque de los tales es el Reino de Dios” (Marcos 10:14)
“Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.” (Mark 10:14)

A few years ago, Carmen and Jorge González began taking homeless children into their Tijuana home. Their own children were grown. Carmen worked cleaning houses in San Diego and Jorge was a Pentecostal lay minister in Tijuana. Soon their home became too small and they made a down payment on a piece of land a few miles southeast of the Otay Mesa border crossing. Today the orphanage has many buildings, housing over 100 children from infants to age 17. On site teachers provide instruction at the preschool through elementary levels. In 2003 they began sending a few children to a Christian middle school and this year they boast two high school and one university student! The orphanage receives no money from the Mexican government and Carmen is too busy to clean houses anymore. But help and money materialize when needed. God provides.
St. Paul's supports the orphanage through donations of clothing, toys, sundries, and money. In 2003, the church members donated $4500 to enable Carmen and Jorge to buy an adjacent piece of land to build a new kitchen, dining room, and family room.
