Members of COAN Missionary Outreach provided a Brazilian style BBQ Sunday August 1st. All proceeds over cost will be sent directly to the many CALEB Centers throughout South America, Africa and the Caribbean. We thank God for this group of committed brothers and sisters.
The Missions Department of COAN continued their efforts to bless CALEB Center children around the world with an after service luncheon Sunday, June 27th. Catered by Fajitas, a popular Boca Raton Mexican restaurant, the proceeds go directly to feed, cloth and educate the children for Jesus Christ. Most of the CALEB centers today are battling just to keep their doors open.
COAN would like to take this time to thank those participated to help this event become a reality.
Please keep the children of the CALEB Centers in your prayers as it becomes increasingly difficult with today’s economics to support them in the way they have been accustomed to.

With the current curriculum of Caleb Centers of Bolivia, approximately 260 children have graduated from the different centers. Receiving accreditation for our learning center and the added blessing of being able to distribute backpacks to all the children who graduated the first semester was a special moment. All first semester graduates are pre-registered to begin the second semester.
In addition it was a true blessing to have the parents present for their children who were thrilled by this support. Also several pastors and friends who support our Caleb Centers attended this great event in support for the children also. mas fotos
It is by God’s grace that Church of all Nations in Bolivia continues to grow. How quickly the time has passed as we continue to minister to the children and their families here at the Caleb Center. God continues to bring more and more children and their families to our doorstep.
When the church was established in Santa Rosa nearly four years ago, Pastor Boykin was present and prophesied that a great church would arise.Since that memorable occasion, our children have continued to receive the word of God, transforming and equipping them with the necessary skills and confidence to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with their own parents. mas fotos
The children of the Caleb Center in Gramadales received some much appreciated medical attention as the the medical staff spent their free time examining and treating those under the care of the center.
The Caleb Center in Uruguay received some welcome support from their brothers and sisters from Chile. The Chileans brought medical supplies, games, and one time only activities for the children. There was a great time of sharing at the center as the combined leaders were able to interact with the children through games, songs and a delicious meal at the end of the day.
Our Caleb Center in Uruguay provides the children with the unique opportunity to attend a summer vacation bible school, providing classes for both boys and girls ages 6-8, 9-11 and 13-19. Because of the additional resources, we have been able to treat and minister to each child according to their special needs. Many of the children who attend our center come from at risk environments, including divorced homes and have suffered from physical and emotional abuse.
As seen in this video we have been able to reach a total of 205 children to date. On behalf of Caleb Center-Uruguay, we wish to extend a special thank you to Pastor Boykin and Pastor Montesino for their continued benevolence to our centers and express our deepest appreciation also to COAN for their continued support.

Caleb History
The concept for Caleb Centers was a result of the vision of Rev. Mark Boykin and Rev. Federico Brun of Uruguay. Their combined expertise was used to establish the very first Caleb Center in Punta de Rieles, Uruguay. Since the inception of this first Caleb Center, they have expanded their base of operations to include centers throughout South America, India, Africa and the Caribbean. Over the last several years, Caleb Centers have housed, fed and educated thousands of at-risk children. It is the goal of Caleb Centers to minister in the most difficult areas wherever children are in need.
To educate and to safeguard at-risk and abused children, to free them from spiritual bondage, ease poverty conditions and equip them to become responsible Christians and future contributing members of society.
They believe every child has value in God’s eyes and has been created in His image.
CALEB Centers originated with a clear sense of purpose, which became the foundation of its outreach: care of children in need.
The mandate of the Caleb Centers is to follow biblical examples concerning the poor and to communicate the gospel, emphasizing the importance of a relationship with Jesus Christ to every child.
Caleb Centers are concerned with the complete development of the child. They recognize that each child needs to experience unconditional love and affirmation in their life in order to understand God’s love for them.
Another goal is to educate and to safeguard at-risk and abused children, to free them from spiritual bondage, ease poverty conditions and equip them to become responsible Christians and future contributing members of society.
Caleb Centers believe every child has value in God’s eyes and has been created in His image. Caleb Centers strongly regard evangelism and discipleship of each child in the Christian faith and strive to incorporate biblical values into their daily lives.
