Casa de la Esperanza
Casa De La Esperanza is a Christian orphanage that has transformed from a house of despair into a true “house of hope”. The church has been involved with Casa since December of 2004 organizing bi-annual trips to Mexico supporting their ongoing mission.
Casa’s mission: Our mission is to serve those unfortunate children of Mexico who, for reasons not their own, find themselves orphaned, lost, abandoned, and abused. These children, who are made in the image of God, need the embracing arms, love, and the support of the Father through His servants. We purpose to raise these children in a manner that will render their greatness through the knowledge of God and a solid educational program.

Haiti: Chances for Children
The Lakewood Church has been partnering with Chances for Children (C4C) since 2012, sending members 2-3 teams a year to volunteer primarily at C4C’s orphanage/crèche site in Kenscoff. C4C also coordinates children's feeding programs through local churches in many impoverished parts of Haiti. Lakewood sponsors the program in the community of Desdunes, providing monthly funds to support the feeding of approximately 200 children 3 times weekly, and has also provided funding toward water filter units for local families.

Haiti: Just Have Faith
Just Have Faith International is a group of Christian brothers and sisters who have been deeply involved in Haiti for many years. What began as a meager attempt to bring medical and dental services to those in need, has grown into a deep desire and commitment to create lasting change. It is the belief of JHFI that we can serve best by partnering with our Haitian brothers and sisters already working within their communities. We seek to provide physical, spiritual, and financial support to empower our Haitian partners who strive to change lives and develop communities through leadership, education, healthcare, and the love of Jesus Christ.
