The Goal: A Center of Hope

By JC / May 21, 2025

More Than Buildings. A Beacon of God’s Love.

It started with a child named Milo — and a calling that wouldn’t leave our hearts.

When Sofia and I donated the land in 2024, we weren’t just offering acres of soil. We were surrendering a dream to God — asking Him to take it, break it, bless it, and multiply it.

We had no blueprint. No architect. No budget.

But we had faith.

And faith was enough.

This land — eight acres nestled in rural Guatemala — will soon become more than earth and foundation. It will become a Center of Hope.

A place where children will walk freely — some for the first time.
A place where parents will no longer choose between food and medicine.
A place where teachers will light sparks of learning.
A place where the Gospel will echo through every classroom, hallway, and heart.

We’ve seen the drawings now.
The 3D models. The architectural plans.
We can already hear the laughter in the courtyard, the songs of worship rising under tin roofs, the sound of chalk on blackboards.
This place is already alive in our hearts — we just need help to make it real.

We’re not asking for donations.
We’re inviting you to be part of a miracle.

A miracle of brick and grace.
Of cement and compassion.
Of heaven touching earth — one child, one classroom, one life at a time.

When we break ground, we won’t be building walls.
We’ll be building bridges — between despair and hope, sickness and healing, loneliness and love.

This is more than a headquarters.
This is God’s house of mercy — entrusted to our hands, and made possible by yours.
