WHO WE ARE
The Father’s Heart Foundation is a Christian Children’s Center in El Salvador, which is made up of family groups, providing family to children who have no family. We are working hand-in-hand with the El Salvadoran Church and with partners around the world.
Each family group has a committed, long-term (permanent), El Salvadoran, Christian couple who care for up to 12 children as if they were their own children. Along with the parents, each family is also set up with an aunt/uncle figure (who can be from anywhere in the world and for short or long term).
We believe that God sets the lonely into families and that it is the responsibility of God’s people to care for orphaned and abandoned children; our goal is to begin with one piece of land that will house 7 families, with 12 children per family, beginning with children aged 1-5 years. These children will be given identity in a family and ultimately in Christ. And, once part of a family they will always be part of that family, even after being sent to school and university and even after becoming parents themselves. We desire to give these children a godly family that they can go on to model and stop the cycle of domestic abuse and child abandonment. In caring for the children’s holistic needs, each family is provided with a home within The Father’s Heart Foundation, with access to all of our services (counseling, medical, etc).
We desire to work with partners around the world, bringing hope to the hopeless and leading the orphan to the Father-heart of God.

UPDATES
We are in the beginning stages this ministry and are working hard to establish a goof foundation for The Father’s Heart Foundation. Here is a look at just some of the things that we accomplished in 2009:
• Wrote the Articles of Incorporation and Registered the Father’s Heart Foundation in El Salvador
• Spoke in different churches around El Salvador, to Fundraise, encourage the church and to challenge them to care for orphaned children.
• The Directors of The Father’s Heart Foundation went to Ohio, Florida and to Vancouver, Canada to raise funds and find ministry partners.
• We did an “Adopt a Bottle” event in 4 churches
• We did evangelism and hosted a Children’s Outreach event in the community of Canton Primavera Arriba, Quetzaltepeque
• Cleared the land, which was like a Jungle before!
• Planted and harvested Maize/corn, beans and peanuts, which we donated to another orphanage in Nejapa.
• We identified our first Family Parents!
In 2010, we will be:
• Fundraising to buy just under 9 acres of land and to build our first family house.
• Building our first family house, in September (If you would like to be part of the construction team, write us today!)
• Planting beans, corn, peanuts and other vegetables
• Training and discipling our first Family Parents
• Evangelizing and discipling the community where the children’s center will be.
