À propos Blue Water Surrender
We heard a cry of broken hearts. In 2006-2008, Gail, Ted and son Trevor Gordon carried out a mission of faith leaving behind their home in the Florida Keys. Setting sail to Central America changed the course of our lives. We continued as a family across the South Pacific to Tahiti seeing the world with new eyes. Eventually we returned to the USA by way of Hawaii and California never to be the same. Our Journey of Faith has lead us to where we are today. A fiery passion has been born to provide a safe home for abandoned and abused children in the Rio Dulce area of Guatemala, “Casa Aqua Azul.” This is the work of many.



Our passion for the children of Guatemala greatly increased in 2009 when 9 women visited the children's home of Casa Ahicam located in Poptún, Guatemala. The desperation we witnessed moved our hearts. A fire destroyed the home in December of 2009, which compelled us to help in the rebuilding efforts. We joined forces with the Church of God and a new facility was completed to house the children of Ahicam.



Our hearts were touched by the needs of the many children suffering in Guatemala. THIS brought forth the vision of Casa Agua Azul in 2013. We have been diligently working hard, digging in the dirt, and building relationships with the people of Guatemala. It has been a long journey to comply with the Guatemalan Government regulations and building in a foreign land. This journey has also provided learning, growing, and sharing between many different cultures. Many lives have been touched and changed.
Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe house for abandoned and abused children in Guatemala through Casa Agua Azul on Lake Izabal in the Rio Dulce.

The House provides a stable long term home where children are loved, cared for, and educated to become well adjusted and productive members of society.

Our ministry is Christ centered for the purpose of rescuing these abandoned children with the love of God and your help.
Description
Casa Agua Azul is a safe house for abandoned and abused children of Guatemala. We are located in the village of Ensenda on the shores of Lake Izabal. We have been welcomed into this community since January of 2015, as three cultures, Indigenous, Spanish, and American united in prayer to fulfill a need.

The brutal Guatemala civil war of 1960 to 1996 left behind 1000’s of orphaned children causing private adoption to escalate. “ the repression amounted to wholesale slaughter of the peasantry and massacres of entire villages; first in the departments of Izabal and Zacapa. (1966-68) Wikipedia, (Ensenda is located in Izabal).

We are here for the above reasons. To bring healing to the hearts of those effected and the land. The need is great. Casa Aqua Azul is tucked away in the jungle, next door is a soccer field and a good school. Our community is peaceful and small. Our relationships with the local church is strong and so is our pastoral support. We are surrounded by the intense beauty of nature which promotes healing and allows the children to grow in a safe, loving environment.

You are invited to join us and our mission. Come for a visit and volunteer, meet our village, our staff and children. You will experience life from a unique perspective. Together our light shines bright bringing love, and healing.
