Loving and training children at orphanages in Mexico

Jakob and Charity Miller have served in Mexico since 2006 at Good Shepherd Orphanage near downtown Morelia, Mexico. Jakob does basic upkeep and maintenance, oversees major and minor construction projects, runs errands, interacts daily with the orphans and staff, coordinates projects with visiting teams, encourages and supports the workers, manages the garden and chickens, and does whatever else he can do to help out. Charity loves being a mother, Jake’s wife, taking care of her household, and partnering with Jake in serving.

Jakob grew up in Portland, Oregon. His childhood was filled with adventure: three-wheelers, camping, shooting, bike-riding, friends and learning. Schooling included Rose City Park Elementary, Columbia Christian and Benson Polytechnic (HS) where he majored in automotive mechanics while learning about many trades. In 1999, Jake volunteered to teach English in Morelia, Mexico, for one year, living with a Mexican family and becoming fluent in Spanish, although he did not intend to return there.

Charity also grew up in Portland, excelling at all levels of school including David Douglas High School. She consistently earned top marks while participating in competitive gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, and track & field, competing at State levels and earning awards. As a young adult, she began to suffer the long-term effects of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

Jake and Charity met in 2002, fell in love, and married in 2003. Shortly thereafter, she returned with Jake to  Mexico where they have been serving orphananges since since 2006. Says Jakob, “I cannot imagine a job better designed for me and my various skills and interests."
