Today, along with providing a solid home to the many children on our care, Door of Faith has become a base for other ministries and outreaches. We are involved with local ministries including food distribution, home construction, short-term mission trips, orphanage consulting and many other areas.
Priorities: ¨ Family ¨ Education ¨ Community Service |

Door of Faith Orphanage was founded in Tijuana, Mexico in 1959 by Curtis and Sylvia Freeze. They came to Mexico with $35 in their pocket and a vision to help the underprivileged children in Baja California. Unsatisfied with their location in Tijuana, the Freeze’s began to search for a new site to build a permanent home. In 1962, a friend brought them to the present site, an abandoned dude ranch. In its prime it hosted Hollywood elite such as Clark Gable, John Wayne, and Steve McQueen who would hunt quail and enjoy the solitude of our valley. |

For many years the Freezes, their son Von, and his wife, Agnes Freeze, worked with others to build the kind of home that would raise responsible, productive members of society. Many of our staff were raised up in this work including Gabriel Diego Garcia, our Mexican Director. In March 1994, while Door of Faith was in a time of transition, DJ and Lynette Schuetze joined Gabriel Diego Garcia and his wife Edwarda Ocampo Garcia in the work here. Door of Faith has grown a great deal during the last decade to become one of the largest orphanages in Baja caring for well over one hundred children. |

Through the avenue of home construction mentioned above, the Orphanage serves it’s community by facilitating the building of small homes for families who otherwise could not afford one. During their mission trip, the Vineyard team built a small 10 x 20 home |
|
for Norberto & Teresa Gonzales. This young couple now has a home where they can now raise their 10 month old son, Norberto, Jr. The funds raised in 2008 went fully toward the construction of that home. |

Seven members of the Vineyard Church of Campbell County served in the Baja Mexico area in the small village of La Mision. Their purpose was to serve in the Door of Faith Orphanage and to construct a home for a needy family in that area. The success of this trip was staggering and overwhelming for all the team members, who truly came away feeling like this had been a trip of a life time. |
