Making a Difference
Orphanage Outreach
Bearup International Ministries partners with an orphanage in Mexico to bring tangible love and hope to children in need. Our congregation regularly sends clothing, toys, and religious items — ensuring every child knows they are seen, valued, and loved by a God who never forgets them.
How We Help
Our partnership with a children's orphanage in Mexico is built on a simple conviction: every child deserves to be clothed, cared for, and to know the love of Jesus Christ. Through the generosity of our congregation, we regularly collect and send meaningful donations directly to our partner orphanage.
👕
Clothing
New and gently used clothing for children of all ages — from infants to teenagers — keeping them warm, dignified, and cared for.
🧸
Toys
Age-appropriate toys and games that bring joy, spark creativity, and remind every child that they are worthy of good gifts.
✝️
Religious Items
Bibles, devotionals, and faith-based materials in Spanish that introduce children to the Word of God and the hope of the Gospel.
If you would like to contribute clothing, toys, or religious materials, please bring donations to the church. To support this outreach financially so we can cover shipping and expand our reach, use the button below.
