Hello, I am Jerry McNally. In 1986, I traveled to Mexico with my wife Susy, with the vision to spread the gospel to more people. We fell in love with this country from the very beginning. We raised our five children on the field, and they are now adults, serving the Lord full time as well.
When we arrived in Mexico, our focus was on founding churches in villages that were difficult to access. We spent several years in the state of Oaxaca, planting churches that are still active today.
But God had a surprise for us. In 1994, after we had moved to Puebla, we met Juan, a young boy who lived on the streets. His story changed our lives.
When we learned that Juan had nowhere to go and that so many other children were in the same situation, we were called to action; to do something to provide them a safe place to live, get an education, and learn about Jesus. This is how we decided to start Esperanza Viva Youth Home (Living Hope) in the city of Puebla, Mexico.
Esperanza Viva Youth Home
To rescue children, train leaders, and reach the nations with the Gospel.
The ministry has grown throughout the years and now provides a home to boys and girls of all ages. We have many more challenges before us, but we know that with the help of our partners, we will be able to rescue more children and give them the hope that is found in Jesus.
One of the ways to help us in the crucial mission of rescuing children is through the Gift of Hope Sponsorship program. Child sponsorships grant us the means to provide for the children we have in our care. Another important way to partner with us is to visit us in Puebla. We have available dates for visits year-round.
