Colina De Luz

Description

Located just outside Tijuana, Mexico, Colina de Luz (Hill of Light) is home for 63 boys and girls. How did these children end up at this home? Some have been abused, some orphaned, some abandoned, reflecting the poverty that surrounds their family life and community. Situated on top of a hill, as the name suggests, Colina not only offers a literal and figurative oasis to these desperately needy children, but truly provides a home. Jim and Susan Drake are two of the three Founders of Colina de Luz (Hill of Light), Christian Home for Children. It was founded July 4th, 1987. God had touched Jim and Susan's hearts (as He continues to today) for the many needy children in and around the Tijuana, Mexico area. Over the years Colina has become a ministry of faith and a "Home" for hundreds of children. It continually houses an average of 60-80 boys and girls ranging in age from infants to 23-year-old students. The staff, which number 18 or more, work together to see the highest possible quality of care is maintained. Colina de Luz is considered by the Mexican Government to be one of the finest Homes of its kind. Colina was privileged in 1999 to win one of two Golden Angel Awards the other was given to Shriners Hospital in Los Angeles.
