ABOUT US |
The True Bass crew filmed two shows with us. |
We are Dave and Barbara Sanders, founders of Fishin Mission Adventures. Originally from Philomath, a rural town between Salem and Eugene, OR, we sold our home, put Dave's custom home design business on hold, closed Barbara's real estate business, and moved to Tepic Nayarit Mexico in November 2006. We came with a dream to establish a business that would bring in a steady income to help a Christian, donation supported orphanage called Casa de Ninos in Tepic. The Casa takes in orphaned, abused and abandoned children from Tepic and the surrounding area and gives them a loving, safe place to live, grow, and heal from the hurts and pains they have suffered in their short lives. Because of the insufficient income the Casa has been limited in the number of children they can take in and the wonderful staff work for a pittance of a salary. With Dave's love for, and skill in, bass fishing and Lake Aguamilpa being only an hour away, we began Fishin Mission Adventures. From the beginning the vision for Fishin Mission Adventures has been two-part. First to establish a business for financial support and secondly a place of retreat the children and staff can also come to for healing and growth. Proceeds from all fishing packages go to the Casa de Ninos Frank Gonzales. We have been followers of the Lord Jesus Christ most of our lives and desire that our personal lives, family, and business be a witness of His gracious goodness and love to us. Our immediate family includes our daughter, Jenn, as well as our son, Michael, who lives in Seattle with his wife, Amy, and our grandsons, Evan and Quinn. We invite you to take the opportunity soon to come visit this beautiful area of Mexico to fish, play with the Casa kids, and be a part of what God is doing here. Benediciones! Dave & Barbara Our Goals: Our future goals include the construction of a 4 unit lodge and 2 bedroom cabin on our lake front property. In addition to accommodating anglers during the fishing season the cabin and Lodge will be used for ministry events such as men's, women’s, and couple’s retreats during the off season and on available weekends. They will also allow us to provide the Casa kids with the needed opportunities to experience life away from the city on occasions. We are concerned with being able to provide some of the older kids opportunities to learn basic job skills. We would like to provide an environment where Godly work ethics can be imparted. It is our intention that Fishin Mission Adventures would be donated in it’s entirety to the Casa de Ninos in the future. This will provide the Casa with additional financial resources to care for more of Tepic’s orphaned, abandoned, and abused children. ___________________________________________________________ Would You Like to Help ?
