Boys Homes

Engadi Ministries is inspired by the biblical account of David in Engadi (sic), the region where he led a group of poor and “misfit” boys to become the “Mighty Men” of Israel and to transform their suffering land into a great nation (2 Samuel 2:1-2; 1 Chronicles 12:1). Engadi Ministries is working to create two similarly nurturing environments: Engadi Refuge and Engadi Ranch, where boys will live, study, and mature into mighty men of character. The boys homes, located at a safe distance from Guatemala City and now under construction, will offer education and a healthy family life.

The Benaiah House is a rental property located on the hillsides overlooking Guatemala City. Engadi signed a lease in October 2015! James and Ellie Carr, Engadi Ministries’ house parents, are scheduled to move in early November to prepare the house for 3 boys to move in early 2016. The house includes 3 bedrooms for 9 boys, a suite for the Carr family and an office for Engadi Ministries. This is the first step in getting the boys into a safe environment – sparking hope and true brotherhood for years to come.
