Casa Bernabe
At Casa Bernabe (House of Comfort) children find acceptance, stability and healing in the love of Jesus. Casa Bernabe is a beautiful 13-acre campus near Guatemala City that is home to more than 150 children. All of the children come out of difficult living situations. Some are orphans, others have been abandoned, others abused. Each child belongs to a loving, nurturing family made up of house parents and their own children. Together they live in individual houses large enough for 15-20 children of the same age group. As a family unit they eat, pray, play and work together. Everyone at Casa Bernabe belongs to a larger, international family.
Guatemalans, missionaries and people from different languages and backgrounds work together to make this a place of hope and healing. Some live at Casa Bernabe full time or short term, while others support the ministry through prayers and giving.
