Amor Speaks Of Spreading Love

Amor Ministries is an organization that helps one to start serving the neighbors in Mexico. Since 1980, Amor has been accomplishing its mission to serve the nation. There motto is –God has called us to build his Church, and we do that by responding to the spiritual and physical poverty in the world

The name of Amor means love and it is quite obvious from its work why this name was given to the organization. The people of the organization are dedicated to show God's love by doing simple, substantial acts of service. This very organization extends their hand of love to the poor.

The employee of Amor is dedicated to serve like the way Christ used to do. They give educational and mission experiences that drastically change people. They want to abolish the spiritual and physical blindness of the general people. They also want to put a deep impact in the future of the church.

There is a long history of Amor that starts from approximately 30 years before. Gayla Cooper used to feel unenthusiastic to spend even one day preaching the children in a Tijuana orphanage. Nevertheless, after she saw a group of children from the orphanage Gayla felt a compulsion from her heart for the poor children. She immediately got ready and landed on Mexico to work in the orphanage for rest of her life.

Amor shows that in the mean time a person named Scott Congdon traveled to the same orphanage eventually. Scott was also deeply moved by the children of the orphanage and so he returned to distribute boxes of food and clothing for the children. He has a community service group with him from his college.

Scott and Gayla almost immediately noticed they shared a same dream to help the poor and destitute children in Mexico. With their unfailing effort Scott and Gayla together established Amor Ministries in March of 1980. That fall, they employed their first ministry team for a making project at a Tecate orphanage.

After one year, Scott and Gayla got married to each other. It was on that same same year, four ministry teams went to Mexico to work with Amor. From that time, the ministry of the orphanage has been giving more homes for poor families each and every year. At the moment, more than 700 teams take part every year to work with short-term mission trips with the organization.

Today, Scott and Gayla, implement their duty with the help of a team employed as full-time Amor staff. It is the main resolution to pour their commitment and obsession for serving the poorest of the poor in Mexico. They organize volunteers and work with the help of local churches in the U.S. and Mexico to take action for the fulfillment of physical and spiritual light in Mexico. Amor
