City of Children


I was really impressed with our speaker this morning - Jeff Fincher, the new director of the City of Children. City of Children is a Christian orphanage located in Ensenada, Mexico. Our church has a long history supporting the City of Children. It was great to hear about the great work that is going on down there. We have been wanting to plan a visit to the City of Children for quite some time and with the Fincher's visit, it's time to set the wheels in motion. We are going to make a visit to the City of Children in the future. Since it is necessary to get a passport for travel across the border as of June 1st, the elders are trying to encourage all teens to get a passport. If you purchase a passport card, we will reimburse you for the cost through the teen fund. In other words, we will pay for you to get a passport! You can find the link to get a passport card HERE: http://travel.state.gov/passport/ppt_card/ppt_card_3926.html

Thanks Jeff for your kind words! We too had a great time at Redlands. We are really looking forward to hosting you all at the City of Children in the near future. Paying for passports?! What a great deal!
