“To be able to tell you of the love story of God’s mercy for the poorest of the poor, it is a grace of God…I am glad to say that with my whole heart I offer you to share in these works of love.”
Mother Teresa in speech to the “Thirtieth National Convention of the National Council of Catholic Women” in Las Vegas in 1960 as recounted in Come Be My Light ed. Brian Kolodiejchuk (New York: Doubleday, 2007) 204.
There are few things more rewarding for my whole family–Jenni, Sammy, Sophie and me–than to see with our own eyes God’s mercy to the poorest of poor (the Treasures) at Potter’s house in the garbage dump of Guatemala City. It is truly a grace of God. With the same heart as Mother Teresa, we invite you to share in these works of love.
As we leave for Guatemala today for a week of service, one way you can “share in these works of love” is by sending a tax-deductible gift that will bless the Treasures. To make a gift, simply visit their website and click on the donate page, and in the special instructions section, mark “Hoag Family Trip” and they will share a report of our ministry and service.
