Village Church’s partnership with For His Children helps provide a safe and loving home with specialized care for these vulnerable children. Currently, 40 to 50 children are cared for in two homes in the city of Quito and a home in the town of Latacunga.
Village Church and For His Children share a rich 20-year history with 185 church members participating in mission trips to For His Children. These trips provide encouragement to the staff, assistance with needed projects on campus, and loving support to the children at For His Children.
Village Church’s financial gifts have allowed children who have experienced trauma to begin healing and have hope for a better future, through expert caregivers and lots of love. Each child receives physical, emotional, and spiritual care while at For His Children. They have a team advocating on their behalf so they can experience a safe and loving forever family. Church members are encouraged to connect and partner with the ministry in the following ways.
Short-Term Mission and Vision Trips
These trips allow for individuals to experience the organization first-hand while serving and learning. Please note: Volunteering has been suspended at this time due to Covid-19, but Village Church plans to send another team to For His Children once travel and volunteer work are permitted.
