We have tithed to the Boys and Girls Club of San Juan Capistrano, The Gang Prevention Task Force, Laura's House (shelter for battered women), San Juan Capistrano Public Library, and Mainstream Recovery Group (a residential treatment center for recovering substance abusers).
Tithing recipients receive our financial support for 1-3 months. Some organizations receive ongoing support throughout the year, such as Family Assistance Ministries, which helps women and children get back on their feet.
We have adopted Petals of Africa School in Kenya as a sister organization that we support through prayer, book donations and financial contributions. This school is operated by Christian Scientists and over half of the 150 students attend Sunday School.
Another group receiving spiritual and financial support is the Karen Tribe in Burma, which is under threat of extermination.
At the end of 2007, a group of 20 adults and teens built a house for a family in need in Tijuana, through the Youth With A Mission (YWAM) organization. If you would like to join us in supporting any of these organizations, please email us.
Homes of Hope 2007
This Society, along with First Church of Christ, Scientist, Dana Point, the Monarch Beach Sunrise Rotary Club, and other organizations and individuals, supported a volunteer building team of 13 youth and young adults, with a total of 26 participants, in the "Homes of Hope" Youth With A Mission project on December 27-29, 2007 in Tijuana, Mexico. The Carvajal Rodriguez family was the recipient of the new home. They have 4 children ranging in age from 10 to 18.
Below is a link to a video presentation about the project.
