Preservice Chat - December 19

This week, Deborah Garcia joins Lindsay Anderson for the Preservice Chat. Deborah Garcia is one of the founders of Eternal Anchor.

Every year, Saanich Baptist Church gives away our Christmas Eve offering. This year, we are giving the offering to Eternal Anchor. Eternal Anchor is a ministry dedicated to meeting the needs of children with special needs in Baja California, Mexico. They provide a loving home for children with special needs who don’t have a family or whose family is incapable of caring for them. They reach out to the community to help preserve families by educating and equipping them with tools and resources that will assist their children in reaching their God-given potential. Their goal is to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of as many children with special needs as God brings to them.

Their vision is to see children and adults with special needs in their community celebrated and nurtured.

Right now , they are purchasing and fixing up a third home, this one for adults. This 5-bedroom house (4 bedrooms for adults and 1 for a caregiver) is on a ranch with horses and will offer horse therapy.

The purpose of this house isn't just to give them a bed, it gives them a home and stability. Altogether, they are aiming to raise $40,000 for this project.
