All around the world growing old is a privilege, a time of great reflection and joy as a person sees the fruit of their lives expand and grow. Whether that is from their success, or in their families, or through the hard work and labor of their life. Scripture even talks of how it is a time of honor and the splendor of the wisdom in old age.

At Hope of Life, we have the very special privilege of being the home for over 50 individuals in the later stages of life. Many people do not know that our ministry actually started with one elderly man who needed someone to help him, just over 25 years ago. On one little acre of the current Hope of Life property, it started with an elderly man, a family who was ready to do what they could to help those in need, and a single vision to see Guatemala’s future change. Now, over two decades later, the ministry has expanded and touched every part of Guatemala and many parts of the world through it’s partners and friends.

Here at the ministry we treasure these special individuals. Many live here because they do not have family to care for them and their needs during this stage of life, others were homeless with no place to go, and many of them have medical and therapeutic needs that they cannot afford.

We believe what Scripture says about the aging, that they are honorable, wise, and deserve dignity. This is why we bring them here and give them a the opportunity to live out their days in a loving environment.

Oasis De Eden is a ministry like no other here at Hope of Life, and it comes with needs specific for this generation. We have recently started a sponsorship program for these special individuals. Not only are the physical and medical needs of each person being met, but their spiritual needs as well. Through sponsoring one of these precious individuals, you are able to invest in their journey. Everyone deserves the honor to age gracefully, and with the opportunity to continue to impact those around them- the Elderly Center at Hope of Life and your sponsorship allows them to do just that.
