250 Christians Attend Grand Opening of 'Beautiful Gate' Orphanage in Mexico's Baja




Christians from Southern California traveled by tour buses to a suburb of Ensenada, Mexico, to join 150 local missionaries and believers to attend the grand opening of Puerta Hermosa (Beautiful Gate) Orphanage that serves as the home for abandoned and severely ill special needs children of Baja, January 2016.

MANEADERO, Baja California, Mexico — Christians from Southern California traveled by tour buses to a suburb of Ensenada, Mexico, to join 150 local missionaries and believers recently to attend the grand opening of Puerta Hermosa (Beautiful Gate) Orphanage, a complex that serves as the home for abandoned and severely ill special needs children of Baja.

It is the incredibly heart-wrenching stories of the children who come to Puerta Hermosa, and the call for Christians to take care of "the least of these" that motivated groups such as Strong Tower Ministries based in Orange County to build the complex, and for others, including 100 people from the U.S., to be a part of the grand opening.

A couple of days before the ceremony on Saturday, Beautiful Gate Orphanage and Genesis Diez (umbrella ministry) founder Greg Amstutz told this reporter the story of two children who were the first taken in for care, resulting in the start of the Beautiful Gate Orphanage 10 years ago.

Amstutz said he was told by one of the residents in the area he was serving that a mother of four was so distraught about her two severely sick children that "she was either going to dump them on the curb because she could not deal with it anymore or she was going to kill them."



"That night, on a rainy, cold night in Baja we were taken to her home by the man who told us about the situation and we were taken to a very low income apartment complex," Amstutz explained. "She and two of the children were over in one corner sitting on a cardboard that was her mattress resting on a concrete floor. The three of them were huddled together in a blanket in a place full of c-ckroaches. There were mice, and it was ugly. But the other two girls were nowhere to be seen.

"We asked where the other two girls were, and their names were Maria and Margarita, and she said they were here. I asked where, and over in the corner there was a pile of trash, but when you looked, the pile was shaking and underneath this pile of trash she had already thrown away both of her little girls for I'm not sure how many days. … The mother agreed that we could take them to the hospital."
