Children's Impact Network

We have been donating to CIN for the last two years and we have had nothing but the most amazing experience! We had an opportunity to serve with our church family and love on the Children CIN cares for! They are truly doing amazing things and honoring the Lord by loving and caring for his children!

Reading about the great work this ministry is doing for children is so encouraging. I would highly encourage anyone who wants to support the Lord’s work in the lives of children to support this ministry.

I have been to Honduras and have seen the good work CIN does and where contributions go. Children embraced by the group homes now have a future. Family, love, care and education are all provided, paving the way for the them to contribute to making a difference in their community and country. And the happiness and smiles will stay in my heart forever.

Best organization!! World changers and a true blessing to everyone who comes in contact with them! God is using this organization to move mountains!

I have witnessed first-hand the life changing difference this organization is making in the world for the most vulnerable. Proud to partner with them over 15 years.

i have experienced this children's impact network nonprofit personally.
during 2 separate mission trips. the focus was always about loving, living, and learning for and with the children.
teaching and learning of the love of CHRIST and HIS new command that we love one another as JESUS loves us. the character of GOD was on display at home, school, and church in the fruits of the spirit...galatians 5:22. the children grew at their own pace because of patience and kindness. they all developed well rounded skills because of their involvement in the chores and running of the family home.
i am proud to say that i was blessed by this organization and felt loved and honored

I have been aware of and a donor to CIN for many years. It is an organization that reaches out to children with no homes, no families, and no hope. CIN meets their physical needs first and then their spiritual needs where true hope is found. The need is great and their outreach continues to grow as Jesus continues to bless their service. If you love children and you love Jesus, then some of your giving needs to go in CIN's direction. Great mission. Great organization.

We learned about CIN from our son, who is a school teacher and had spent a summer with CIN in Cochabomba. My wife and I went to Bolivia for several years after that. One year we organized a youth mission trip from our church. I know it was a blessing to the boys in Bolivia, and it was a blessing to the youth from our church. Some of the youth (who are now adults) have stayed in touch with "their boys" at the home in Sipe Sipe. Some of the boys at the center came from a sad and sometimes dnagerous life. At the BLC (Bolivia Life Center) they have been loved, taught, fed, and clothed and made a part of a far different life. The staff at CIN both in Bolivia and in the States are loving, committed people who have contributed in immeasurable ways to those in their care.

CIN is run by people whose integrity is beyond approach.
I had the honor to go to Bolivia almost 20 years ago when the first Life Center was being established. It was an incredible trip - seeing both the desperate need and the wonderful response of CIN was a great example of how we can be the arms of Christ - providing help and hope.

CIN is an amazing organization! The work that they do is absolutely incredible and has impacted so many lives around the world.

Children’s Impact is a wonderful nonprofit organization dedicated to helping and taking care of children who have been abused and abandoned, they also help the communities in need. They have been blessing many children’s and families in need for years. I would definitely recommend for anyone to volunteer with them and or to donate as they are doing Gods work with all donations help, ans well ans changing many lives.

My family has had the blessing of supporting a child in Honduras for several years. We receive letters and photos that show us he is loved and cared for a receiving a good education. We feel confident our support is making a difference in his life.

I can’t wait to experience our up and coming missions trip
To Honduras! The founders John, Maritza and their daughter Natalie have been instrumental in the organization of making this happen! Wonderful organization with absolutely heart filled people! Linda Rios

A true blessing for the children they rescue! Giod is at work with CIN and it shows in the lives of those they rescue and have raised over the years! May God continue to bless CIN and those who support it.

The children rescued by CIN are growing up in families with love and care and provided with everything they need to become responsible, successful adults in families of their own.

What a blessing Children Impact Network has on the many hundreds of orphaned children! We are blessed to sponsor and pray for the children and their founding couple who believe that God has a plan for these precious gift from God! We are always excited to hear what God has for each child!
God bless you all! John 3:16 For God so loved the world that HE gave His One and Only Begotten Son that whoever believes in Him would have eternal life forever!

I have been volunteering with CIN for over 8 years. They are a very compassionate, Christian organization that loves on children. They give kids a home when they have no home, parents when they have no parents. They love the kids in their care and bring them up to love Jesus. The founders, John and Maritza, show their love for Jesus in the way they take care of the orphans - they are truly the hands and feet of Jesus.

I had the opportunity to go on a missions trip to Bolivia! In my late 70’s and what a blessing CIN is to me! To see the love they have for the children who were found on the streets fending for themselves and bringing them into the orphanage to love and minister to them is so outstanding. They have touched many, many children and changed their lives. They’ve married and returned to minister to other children who need love! God Bless all who make CIN what it is today!

I visited CIN years ago with a church group and was very impressed with how the nonprofit was run. I then decided to sponsor a child and it has been a great experience ever since. Great communication between staff and my sponsor child and transparency on where the money is spent.

Spreading huge impact with a smaller, family-feel nonprofit. We love the communication, organization, and friendliness of the staff.

C IN operates three orphanages in South America. I visited the Bolivia life center 9 times. The boys had small dormitories with house parents, good medical care, fresh food (some grown by the boys), an active partner Church, a soccer team, pool , climbing wall and a daily academic tutor.
Mission teams come weekly during holidays. Some sponsor boys and write to them.. Founders Maritza and John Hernandez visit often and see much loved.
An outstanding home for boys 5-18.

CIN is an incredible organization focused on rescuing children in Bolivia, Honduras and Chile. My experience is with the Bolivia Life Center where they have between 40 and 60 boys aged 3 to 18+. The BLC is a huge family of loving, caring staff, Tios and Tia’s who seek to meet the individual needs of all the boys while giving them the opportunity to know Christ and develop life skills such as vocational trades and/or College/university opportunities for those so inclined. The evidence that the BLC is family is seen by the number of young men who come back to serve at the BLC when they “age out” of living there.

They are great and very supportive of their volunteers and people they serve. Amazing work.

Longevity, commitment, love… all in Christ’s name. All for vulnerable children. That’s my experience with Children’s Impact Network. Well worth your investment of time, talent, treasure or all three.

Children’s Impact Network is a nonprofit organization, which demonstrates God’s love through mission projects around the world, to children and youth at-risk, and trains, equips and networks leaders to do the same. I get regular updates about the great work they do!

Supporting a young girl at Honduras life center came about a number of years ago after two of our adult daughters served in areas of the mission where they were needed. Shifting gears as issues arose the transition still moved ahead as hoped for…really quite amazing. The experience made such an Impact on their lives that they returned the nest year again serving both at the center, as well as in rural areas, where CIN has made an impact on underserved lives bringing hope and love to marginalized peoples. Meeting a desperate need. CIN is so well run in every aspect. I have enjoyed the eye opening experience through our girls reports of their personal journey serving there,and contact with the child we support..

Children’s Impact Network is literally saving the lives of children! My family has seen it with our own eyes. They’re loving and teaching these orphans about God, their significance, and how to be kind, giving, educated members of society. We are thrilled and so privileged to be a small part of what God is doing through CIN.

My husband and I sponsor a child at the Honduras Life Center. We send and receive letters from our child twice a year. We get regular updates with photos from the organization. We participated in a mission trip to the Honduras Life Center in 2018. We were able to work on a construction project at the Center as well as do outreach activities in the surrounding communities. The highlight though was meeting and spending time with our sponsored child each day of our trip. We were also able to meet the national director and the staff at the center. Everyone was professional and had the best interests of the children as their number one priority. The cost of the trip was very reasonable and we were happy to see the impact our sponsorship is making on one child's life.

I have no qualms donating to CIN. I have gone on 2 missions trips to their Life Center in Honduras and see the impact they are having there. God is using them to rescue children in distress and give them a home and a family!

Visiting and working with CIN impacted me for life! I've gone on two trips (2018, 2020) to their Honduras location and each time I was speechless at the amount of love they have and care they provide for children. Witnessing how CIN loves on some of the most hurt and vulnerable children, from administrators to the house parents, gave me a new perspective on life and showed me first hand the best in humanity. CIN is truly doing great work and I love them for it!

I’ve volunteered with children’s impact network 3 times now since I heard about them back in 2018. I have yet to have an experience quite like it. Being able to see the love and dedication they have for all of the children they rescue is remarkable. They provide so much for the kids to make sure they have an incredible life and you can see that it’s working by the way the kids radiate joy. I’m so blessed to be able to have been a small part of that and I can’t wait til my next chance to volunteer again with them

I visited the Bolivia Life Center twice in college. During that time, the children and mission of CIN stole my heart. All these years, they still hold on. The work this organization does is truly from the heart of people who care and would give anything to save and change the lives of the children they serve. No one, neither child or adult, can participate in this ministry and walk away without being changed for the better.

Children's Impact Network has been such a blessing to our family. My husband and I have served on several trips separately and one together. I cannot speak highly enough about all of the staff members here in the states and abroad. Communication is fantastic. Organization is amazing. Trips with CIN are the best part of the year for both of us!!

A few years ago I was went to Bolivia on a mission trip he CIN home for boys. I was so impressed by the staff and their work in giving abandoned boys not only a home, but the love of Jesus Christ as well.
This organization is truly the hands and feet of Jesus for the children of Bolivia, Honduras and Chile. God Bless you CIN.

For years I have been donating to CIN. I am so thrilled to read every single story they share and to know that my donations are truly making an impact (like building a literal roof!!). I love what they've created and am so happy to keep supporting financially

CIN is a wonderful organization that truly cares for the children. We have brought many missions teams from our church to Honduras and Bolivia and we are always impressed with the progress and continued growth of the kids. It is a trustworthy organization that is a blessing to be a part of!!

CIN is a incredible organization that is not only helping children in many South American countries but is also brining the name of Jesus to communities across the world! One of my favorite things about CIN is the close knit family experience they provide for children who without them would not be able to experience what a true family is like!

2 years I had the privilege to serve with CIN at the Honduras life center through Christ Fellowship church and it was the MOST incredible experience of my life. Maritza and Nataly and the entire CIN staff were incredible. Their hearts for the kids and everyone they come in contact with is a living example of the hands and feet of Jesus. That trip changed my life and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to serve alongside this amazing organization again.

I had the privilege of serving alongside Children’s Impact Network in 2018 as a summer missionary intern. This organization and the staff involved changed my life forever. The staff is full of leaders who give their entire heart and soul to loving and serving everyone they come into contact with. The ministry that CIN is involved in is some of the most organized, meaningful ministry opportunities I have ever encountered. Children’s impact network does an amazing job at taking God’s heart for the orphans and putting that love into practice.

CIN is one of my favorite organizations and I love seeing how God continues to work through them. I had the opportunity to go on trips, intern and work for them. I would highly recommend taking a trip with CIN and experience God’s love in a new culture and different country. God commands us to GO and going with CIN is a great choice!

I have traveled with CIN a number of times personally and have sent university student groups to serve with them for many years. Their integrity, attentiveness, passion and vision is second to none. Their work is a reference point of hope and flourishing in the communities in which they serve. It is amazing to hear stories of the young leaders they have cared for and raised up who now seek to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God!

Wonderful organization that rescued children. They not only care for them and help them heal, but they commit to these children for life, preparing them to become strong men and women with education and careers as adults.

I had the opportunity to go on a missions trip with children’s impact network and they are some of the best! Not only do they work hard to make the trip personal for every person that’s with them, they also work hard to create experiences that you’ll remember for days and years to come. They have a great team and a great heart to see people grow in their ability to love and serve others. What children’s impact network does for kids in countries like Honduras, Colombia, and Bolivia can only be described as a beautiful act of grace and love for others. This is a great organization and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to serve with a missions organization overseas!

How wonderful to have an organization like CIN rescuing abandoned and abused children in Bolivia, Honduras and Chile. Because of this life giving ministry these children are spared and given the opportunity to love and be loved. Thankful for their great staff and all they do!

CIN is the real deal. I am a pastor of a church in NC. CIN has allowed hundreds of our members to partner in their mission to rescue and restore abused and abandoned children. They follow through on this mission, by competently rescuing children from homeless or exploitative situations, and re-familying them with cutting edge "Life Centers" in chosen countries that nurture these children toward their full God given potential. They do good work with results backed up by looking at the lives of many years now of graduates from their Life Centers. They also have helped our suburban American church members see the world through a more biblical lens regarding poverty, justice, and the unity that can be achieved in Christ across cultures, through project oriented mission trips and long term child sponsorship.

Children’s Impact Network is a genuine blessing to each story they encounter, from the people being served to the people helping serve. I had the privilege of serving with a team in Colombia and the dedication to excellence from CIN is undeniable. Every detail is accounted for and it shows most in the way they love people. It’s their heart and it shows! I always felt well informed and prepared the whole time and it left a valued impression on my heart. I am looking forward to partnering with CIN this summer in sponsoring a child, and have considered different organizations but I trust the heart of this organization most. I believe it’s so important that the work of rescuing children in their most precious & vulnerable state of life, to give the best chance of recuperation and a full life, is of utmost urgency. CIN is doing it right!

What a great organization. The staff cared for our missions team so well, we felt like family. I was highly impressed not only how they cared for us, but the way they cared for the kids that are entrusted into their care. I was able to lead a missions trip there with some high school students. Because of the excellence and intentionality of Children’s Impact Network, each one of my students left impacted and changed. Not a dry eye the last night before returning to the states. Thank you C.I.N!!

CIN impacts abandoned children's lives daily with so much-food, clothing, education, medical care and most importantly showing these children that they are special and loved! It is beautiful to see how this organization reaches out to children in need and gives them opportunities they would otherwise never have. The founders and their wonderful staff have a heart to rescue these children and give them a better life. When you see these children’s faces and their sweet smiles you wonder where they could have ended up. I am so thankful to in some way be part of a life giving ministry like CIN!

I did the summer internship in Bolivia and I got to experience firsthand all the God does through this organization! It was an incredible chance to grow spiritually while investing in the lives of team members and the lives of the boys at the life center!
They plays an important role in the countries that they are in and they are an excellent organization to partner alongside with.

Children’s Impact Network (CIN), what can I say! Amazing organization that is making such an impact around the world. Love the team and all they’re doing. Lives will never be the same because of what God is doing through CIN.

Children's Impact Network has been a long time partner with our organization for many years. The compassion for bringing love and care to children across the globe is unmatched. They have led several trips for our team, and each one is organized with exceptional details and attention.

Children’s Impact Network is such an amazing organization. I love the way they serve and give to those who need it most. The leadership team is trustworthy and I love partnering with this organization.

This nonprofit organization is the very best!! The staff cares so well for each mission team & for all the children in the life centers. Children’s Impact Network does an outstanding job caring for kids and teaching them about God’s word. These children grow up knowing their value and that they are cared for!

God’s favor over Children’s Impact Network is so evident and contagious. Going on a mission trip with CIN is so powerful and you will come back changed after seeing just a glimpse of what God is doing in the orphanages of Bolivia, Chile, and Honduras. To see the happiness of the kids and the house parents in a time that can easily be dark and gloomy gives you a perspective of what it truly means to be grateful for what you have. Thank you CIN for all that you do!

CIN has become my BIG, God-given family! Some of the most incredible, life-changing moments of my life have been spent on the mission field partnering with Children’s Impact Network. God’s favor is so evident! Safe, reliable, honest, faith-building and family oriented. Every detail is thought of. We have made friends and partnerships that will last a lifetime, while serving and fulfilling our call to go to the ends of the earth and to look after the orphans and widows in their distress.

Children’s Impact Network rescues abandoned, abused and neglected children. They rescue them to give a loving home, meals, medical care, psychology, education, mentoring and so much more. Many have been rescued from unimaginable backgrounds. CIN commits to the children for the long run. Helping kids go through further education to lead them into their careers and life afterwards. CIN builds a lasting family relationship with the children.

One of the best parts is that you can actually go and visit and see what your donations go to firsthand. You can spend time with the children and build relationships. You can see where they came from and where they are now.

I have been blessed to be a part of this amazing non-profit for the past 25 years and it has changed my life forever. I wish there were more stars than 5 stars to give!

Children's Impact Network is a life-changing organization that impacts people all over the world. CIN is an organization that strives for excellence in all that they do, creates a welcoming environment, trains up leaders, and fights for the rights of others. CIN has showed me what it is like to have family all around the world, especially through child sponsorship that my family has been a part of for over ten years. I would highly recommend a CIN mission trip, internship, or child sponsorship relationship- it will change your life in the best way!

I have been sponsoring a child through Children's Impact Network for seven years. I am impressed with the work they are doing, the love and support they give to the children and the staff's dedication to improve the lives of everyone they can.

The Bolivia Life Center is a fantastic opportunity to both financially support orphans off the streets of Bolivia as well as get the opportunity to get to know the boys. My oldest daughter worked a host one summer and she was so touched by the experience that she wrote about it on her medical school application. My youngest daughter has participated on 2 one week teams and is behind excited to go back and host this summer (2013). The BLC has become her passion. As a family, we have financially supported one boy. We write him letters and send him pictures 2x a year. We have been supporting him for 4 years.

Children's Impact Network rescues disposable children - yes you read correctly - children who are sold or abandoned for various reasons in 3rd world countries. These children find a loving, caring place to care for their every need. Most of these children were living in the streets used by pimps and drug dealers for despicable things. Staff at CIN devote their lives to loving and caring for these children. I have visited the Bolivia Life Center 4 times. I sponsor 3 children there and have had the opportunity to meet and know them as their Madrina. At CIN they receive, not just the basics of food and clothing, but also get tutoring, health care, clean living conditions, nutritional meals, religious training and the opportunity to learn trades they can carry on into adulthood. They are also given support after high school at the Life House. They can even go to college!

Children's Impact Network has helped to make such a huge impact on my life. God has blessed this ministry so much and I am changed a little more each time I go on a missions trip with them. I have grown such a love for this ministry and what is taking place there. God has used this ministry to help so many people. God's love and presence is all over the orphanage in Bolivia, and the different projects taking place all over the world. It's such a selfless ministry, which I love so much about it. The heart of this ministry is to share God's love to people who have nothing. Their main goal is to look after the orphans and the widows of this world. They truly do make an impact one life at a time, and I have been so blessed to be a small part of it. Another thing I love about the ministry is that they are so great with all age groups. Whether it is adults, youth groups or families, everyone has a great experience. I highly recommend Children's Impact Network to anyone looking for a life changing experience, lots of fun, and a true encounter with the presence of God. It definitely would be a trip that you would not regret.

I had the privilege of knowing the founders of CIN as a young adult and my life and ministry were impacted by them. So, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that when they say they are impacting children's lives with food, clothing, medical care, education and more importantly, LOVE, that's exactly what they are doing. When I have the chance to give I do it joyfully and excitedly because I get to participate on the impact they are having on the children now and on future generations. Awesome!

We were introduced to CIN by our son and daughter in law who were involved through their church. We went on a mission trip to The Life Center in Bolivia several years ago and have been hooked ever since. The most helpless and defenseless groups of people worldwide are children. It was an incredible blessing to witness and be involved in an organization that reaches out to children in need, giving them an opportunity that they likely would not otherwise have. One of the most impactful moments for me while in Bolivia was seeing the widespread poverty and desolation. There are thousands of street children that have no home or family. I remember thinking, how can you make a difference in such deeply impoverished and oppressed conditions? And then it occurred to me, "one child at a time". We have since sponsored two boys and are so thankful to be able to do so. Being a part of CIN helps keep us grounded in the reality of what really matters the most, loving others.

I cannot say enough good things about this organization. I've gone to Bolivia and Honduras with Children's Impact Network and I'm going back to Honduras this summer. We all know that it takes great leadership to run a great organization. Well, John and Maritza Hernandez are two of the best. They do an incredible job of moving mountains with a small staff. So, a large portion of the money raised goes right to the needy. The entire Hernandez family gets involved in the lives of the people they serve, the lives of the staff, and the lives of the volunteers. They don't just want your money so they can achieve their agenda. They want to partner with you to make the world a better place. Always open to new ideas, always looking for opportunities, CIN is an incredible organization.

Children's Impact Network impacts the lives of many children that would otherwise never be helped in their lives. CIN has for many years slowly grown into a strong, stable organization that has the best interests of those they serve at the forefront of their entire mission. John Hernandez, his family and the entire staff have always done things the right way. In it's infancy, CIN crawled before they walked and then walked before they ran. They are now a world class organization and one that I am proud to say that I can give to and know that my donation will be put to work in a meaningful way.

Children's Impact Network is an organization that truly lives up to its name by impacting countless children's lives around the world. It goes above and beyond what is expected in its care for the orphanes living in its life centers in Bolivia and Honduras, and does not stop there but impacts the lives of children in the surrounding villages too. Not just in financial ways but in showing them love and care also. As a volunteer I was changed by my experience serving others along with CIN and this organization will always be dear to my heart and I plan to stay involved with them. Their cause is one that is special to me, but I also love CiN because they do everything with 110% of who they are and I have the upmost respect for them.

Have you ever wanted to make an impact in this world but don't know where to go? Have you ever wished you could work with a non-profit who have founders that feel like they are part of your family and where you feel safe traveling to a new part of the world all on your own. Well, Children's Impact Network is the organization where this happened to me. 10 years ago I was looking to make a difference in the lives of children and by the grace of God I found Children's Impact Network on the internet. Little did I know I was not their to change the children's lives but the children were truly going to change my life for ever. I have been volunteering with Children's Impact network over the past ten years and been blessed to visit once to twice a year to the Bolivia Life Center. I have had the opportunity to see the volunteers and financial donations improve the lives of the boys at the Bolivia Life Center. I have seen how love and faith give the children hope and dreams for their future. I have have seen God use these children who were living on the streets with no hope now have hope and work towards their their dreams. You too can donate your time or financial donations to impact children who have made a permanent place in my heart. Go make your impact with Children's Impact Network.

I have been involved with CIN for 4 years -- both as a volunteer and a donor. My daughters and I visited the Bolivia Life Center in 2009 as part of a mission team from our church. I am leaving this week for my 5th trip and it has been my great privilege to sponsor two boys at the oprhanage with regular donations. CIN has absolute integrity throughout all levels of the organization: from John and Maritza Hernandez' strong leadership, to the dedicated staff here in the states, to the tias and tios who care for the boys in Bolivia. I am so impressed with their good stewardship of resources, and I know that my money is being used wisely to have the greatest impact on the lives of these precious children. CIN does an excellent job keeping donors and volunteers connected to the Life Center through regular email newsletters and communications from the boys. My family's involvement with CIN has been a blessing to us and I would encourage anyone who loves Jesus and loves children to consider partnering with CIN.

CIN is an amazing organization. My wife and I have both spent summers working at the Bolivia Life Center and we can attest that not only has that place eternally changed the lives of the boys who live there, but it has made its mark on every person who has ever visited there. The work they do is very difficult, exhausting and expensive, but they do it well and they are one of a kind. They continue to expand their work into much needed areas where little to no one else is working, for example they are helping the families of martyred pastors. I can not speak more highly about the John, the leader of this organization and his commitment for long term development in the people he works with.

I have been working with CIN for the past 5+ years, I had been working in Honduras since 1995 and was asked about 5 years ago to partner with John Hernandez (CIN-Director) with some pastors conferences. Last year I joined CIN board to help facilitate a permanent ministry center and childrens home in Lake Yajoa Honduras. This year we purchased the land and are using a rented large house to provide for our children. John & Maritza have a long history of missions and a deep love of Christ and the great commision.

Our Family has been connected with Children's Impact Network since 2003. It started with my son and daughter 13 and 14 respectively taking a trip to Bolivia with our Church. Our life has never been the same! Our kids came home with a sense of purpose and gratitude for the life they had. They continued visiting The Bolivia Life Center with CIN summer after summer. We began supporting this organization when we saw the results in our children - living life for more than themselves. We have gotten to know the founder and many of their staff and volunteers and love their hearts for Jesus. Last year we took our first trip with CIN, it blew us away to gain a greater perspective on Gods Kingdom. We have three younger children coming of age and can't wait to follow in their big brother and sister's footsteps. Children's Impact Network is a small, but very effective organization to partner with if you're concerned about reaching our world with the love of Jesus.
