For those of you familiar with Amor, you are probably incredibly excited that they are our Summer 2010 Partner. If you don’t know anything about them, I highly encourage you to read about what they do below.
“Since 1980, Amor’s mission has remained the same. God has called us to build his Church. We do that by responding to the spiritual and physical poverty in the world by empowering groups and individuals to participate in an Amor Mission Trip.
Our very name means love. We choose to show love through simple, tangible acts of service. Amor demonstrates to the poor the same grace we have all received. We are committed to:
- Provide educational and mission experiences that radically change people.
- Eradicate spiritual and physical poverty.
- Impact the future of the church.
As we carry out this mission, we realize that building a house doesn’t just provide shelter.
The Need
The need was recognized more than thirty years ago, and still exists today because families are being torn apart due to poverty. When Amor Ministries began in 1980, poorest families sent their children away to orphanages because they could not provide for them. Rather than being full of children without parents, orphanages cared for kids whose parents loved them so much, that they were sent away to provide for their general needs. After learning this Amor’s Founders’ decided to change it. So, for the last thirty years, Amor Ministries’ main purpose was and continues to be to provide adequate housing for needy families in order to keep families together!
Amor Ministries does more than just make life easier for a family in need, we open hearts to truly see the grace and love of Jesus by providing security, safety, and stability.”
