<b>\u00a0In 2002<\/b> Loren and Donna Yoder and Lenn and Debbie Miller each approached DNI about work in Mexico. They had a similar idea-an orphanage and church plant. Loren&#8217;s had more interest in the church planting side, and Lenn&#8217;s in the orphanage. At that time, neither family knew each other, nor had any idea of their similar visions. The board saw God&#8217;s leading hand at work and approved opening a new mission in Choix, Mexico.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Lenn&#8217;s moved down in 2003 and began language study while the Yoder&#8217;s waited for their house to sell. After the Miller&#8217;s finished language study, the Yoder&#8217;s moved down and started their year of language while Lenn started looking for property for the orphanage. The property was found, and construction began.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0At the beginning of 2006, the orphanage opened its doors and received in first child. Around the same time, the Yoders began holding church services in their living room.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0As the years have passed, the team has grown considerably. There are now over 10 single staff working at the orphanage, caring for the children.

The nights are chilly and crisp, dropping down into the 40\u2019s, while during the day it warms up into the 70\u2019s. As the winter turns into spring, the days get warmer and warmer, sometimes climbing over 100. But, the nights still cool down, making it easier to sleep.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0May and June are the hottest, driest, months of the year, temperatures sometimes reaching 110. On the worst days, even the nights feel stuffy and don\u2019t cool down. The parched ground awaits the summer rains. Farmers watch expectantly as the clouds start to billow over the mountains. They burn all the piles of brush in their fields and prepare their horses, plows and seed. The evening horizons are illuminated with electrical shows and rumbles are heard in the distance. This is a sure sign that the rainy season is just around the corner.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0At the end of June, the first storm finally arrives. The wind tears through the trees, and takes down any dead or weak branch. Here and there, palm and aluminum roofs are blown off if not secured well. Dust and sand and dead leaves are flung everywhere, as if an invisible giant was sweeping out his house.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Then, the rain comes. It starts with a few drops which turns into a sprinkle. Then the clouds open up and it just pours. The wind pounds the rain against the windows which finds a way inside and puddles on the floor. We all scramble around, finding rags and floor towels to sop up the water before it turns into a stream.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Finally, the storm is over. We step outside and look at the night sky. Lightning illuminates the stormy sky, hiding the twinkling stars. Even the moon has to wait behind the curtain. But by morning, the sky is usually clear and sunny, only to last until the next storm front.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The rainy season pitters out near the end of September. During those 3 months of rain, the land is totally transformed. Plants spring up everywhere, and Choix changes from a desert to a jungle. October and November are still hot months, but not as muggy. As the year nears a close, the weather starts cooling down, entering\u00a0the chilly winter months again.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-1702\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1702\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Economy<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1702\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1702\"><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The main sources of legal income in this area are cattle ranching, mining, and seasonal crops. During the rainy season, many plant crops like sesame seed, watermelon, and peanuts. Those who have a lot of money buy the crops cheap from the farmers and store it in storage buildings. Then, when the price for the crop goes up, they sell it and earn more money than the farmers themselves.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Around 20 years ago, a huge dam was constructed near Choix. The lake behind the dam produces a lot of fish and brings some tourism to the area for bass fishing.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Of course there are the illegal jobs. A huge percentage of Choix is involved in the drug realm, some planting it, others smuggling it. Then there are the hit-men who do the dirty work and earn high wages.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-1703\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1703\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Violence<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1703\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1703\"><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Over the decade or so, Mexico has made an effort to crack down on the drugs.

some adjustments in relation to adoption and how it plays into our vision for the orphanage. It used to be that we would take in children, minister the love of the Lord to them, introduce them to Christ, and continue to care for them until they turned 18. Then they could choose to stay and work with us or leave and start a family or life of their own. We also knew that some would go back to their natural families before they turned 18. Over the years though, we have not been too impressed with the &#8220;fruit&#8221; of that vision.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Now, our vision is to take in children and still minister the love of the Lord to them. However, we see our job now as just a step in the process towards seeing as many as possible adopted into Christian homes. Interestingly enough, it was social services that helped bring about this change of vision.\u00a0<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-9822\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-9822\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Social Services On Board<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-9822\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-9822\"><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 A while ago, social services lawyers from the state headquarters visited our orphanage (as well as all the orphanages in the state) to find out which children were being visited by relatives. Their goal was to prepare the paper work (and see the process through completion) for the children who haven&#8217;t been visited regularly to become adoptable. Close to half of the children at our orphanage fall in that category and could possibly be adoptable within 6 months.<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0It is amazing to see the ways the Lord has opened the doors recently. The lawyers are doing all they can to help move things forward, and we have been blessed with extraordinary favor with the local judge (which is very important!).<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-9823\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-9823\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Children Belong in Families<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-9823\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-9823\"><p><span style=\"color: #2a2a2a; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0This is exciting for us.

I\u00a0 read\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/orphanjustice.com\/\">&#8220;Orphan Justice&#8221; by Johnny Carr<\/a>\u00a0(which I strongly recommend), and he states, &#8220;Man made orphanages to care for children; God made families to care for children.&#8221; I realize that sin has changed this in many cases. However, even though we are Christians running this orphanage, we can&#8217;t come even close to being as effective in caring for a child as a godly, adoptive family can.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.replace-campaign.org\/harm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">Studies<\/a> indicate that children are more likely to succeed in a family over an institution.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-9824\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-9824\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">\"Fish\" out of Water<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-9824\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-9824\"><div class=\"paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #2a2a2a; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0Here&#8217;s an analogy that I believe puts it in perspective. What we are doing as an orphanage is like trying to care for fish out of water. Over the years we have tried to improve our care of the fish. Maybe before, they were flopping around on the cement, so we improved our care by moving them onto grass so they wouldn&#8217;t damage themselves as bad. Then we figured out that they do even better by pouring water on them and keeping the grass moist. But we&#8217;ve still found that they aren&#8217;t thriving.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We&#8217;re still trying to improve our care, and we should. But I&#8217;m convinced that they won&#8217;t truly thrive until we find them little ponds. The ponds are homes. Not just any pond will do. They need ponds with the elements that will enable them to thrive. Those would be Godly homes. Christian homes. Many of these children are broken. They don&#8217;t need broken homes. They need wholesome homes.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-9825\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-9825\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">The Orphanage's New Purpose<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-9825\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-9825\"><p>This gives us purpose as an orphanage.

They will take a lot of sacrificial giving. However, I believe we need to share our stable, non-broken homes with the broken children of this world and minister the healing of Christ to them.

Yes. Once Mexican children reach the age of 5, they are allowed to be adopted out of the country. It is very important, however, to use an international adoption agency that has been approved by Mexico for adoptions. The cost to see the process through is at least $16,000 dollars, not including the travel expenses. If things go through smoothly, it can be completed in as little as two years (from start to finish).
