Centro Aliento de Vida
We have our own property!
...but there is so much work to do.
Our primary goal for 2025 is to transform our newly purchased property into a vibrant community center—a sanctuary where individuals can experience safety, love, and support. We envision a space where children can focus on their homework in peace and where the presence of Christ is palpable the moment you walk through the door. Our aim is to create a small beacon of light amidst the challenges faced by this town.
We have named this center “Centro Aliento de Vida,” or “Breath of Life Center,” which embodies our mission to infuse people with the life-giving spirit that comes from God.
Project Overview
This ambitious project will require significant effort. Currently, three sides of the property are enclosed by walls, but we need to construct a wall on the fourth side and reinforce the existing ones for security. A new front door will also be added to enhance safety.
The small room at the front, which includes a bathroom, is in disrepair and requires extensive renovations, including a new roof. Our vision is to transform this space into a well-equipped kitchen that will serve the community. We also plan to build one or two additional rooms for classes, small group meetings, and study areas for children.
To further enrich the community experience, we intend to cover the dining area to provide shelter during meals. A generous donation of a playset will offer children a safe place to play and enjoy outdoor activities.
Creating a Welcoming Environment
We aim to paint the walls in bright, cheerful colors to create an inviting atmosphere. Murals featuring Bible verses will greet visitors, ensuring that they feel welcomed by the Word of God as they enter.
The vision we have for this center is truly unique to our town. We aspire to counteract the prevailing feelings of darkness, jealousy, depression, abuse, and worthlessness with an environment that radiates light, joy, safety, and value. Our commitment to this project is a testament to our care for the community, reflecting the profound love that God has for each individual.
Funding Goals
To bring this vision to life, we aim to raise $100,000. This cost encompasses all aspects of the project, including construction, plumbing, electrical work, landscaping, and painting. Additionally, it covers the implementation of necessary security measures and all associated labor costs. We understand that is a significant request, but we firmly believe in the importance of this project and are committed to maintaining high standards without cutting corners. This investment will ensure that our facility truly reflects God’s love for the community and provides a welcoming, uplifting environment for all. We are dedicated to creating a space that the people can be proud of and that serves as a testament to our faith and mission. We believe that every person in this community deserves a place where they can escape life’s burdens, if only for a moment.
