Bellevue
The Bellevue church of Christ in Bellevue, Washington began a project to help the children of Ecuador over five years ago. God placed in their hearts the desire to provide a youth camp in Ecuador. The dream has now become reality in the form of the Cayambe Christian Center. The location, as the name implies, is near Cayambe, Ecuador, a small mountainous city about two hours driving time north of Quito.
Ulf and Margaret Hallen, members of the Bellevue congregation, have been the keys to unlock the doors of this wonderful project. They searched to find the present rural property and have been active in overseeing it’s construction. These facilities will be used in many ways to provide a place for education, recreation, dining and worship to the orphanage. God opened the door of opportunity to purchase enough land to place the Hacienda of Hope adjacent to this property in early 2002.
