We are Brian and Clarissa Krahn, directors of Ancla de Amor.

We would like to welcome you to Ancla De Amor. Our desire is to show you a glimpse into our life, which has now become our entire world.

Our pursuit is to bring some justice to the precious lives of children that have been either abandoned, neglected or orphaned. Although we live in a constant uphill battle, there’s nowhere else we would rather be.

We are diligently moving forward with faith and passion knowing that the lives of these little ones are being changed and transformed day by day.

Testimonials

In Dec. 2023, we were excited to learn our church (River of Life in Cold Spring, MN) was offering a family mission trip (12+ yrs) to help an orphanage (Ancla de Amor) in Mexico. 🇲🇽 Logan and I were interested but not sure we would be able to go, due to the short time we had to fundraise the money before leaving. Thankfully, God already had a plan! Through the generous donation of Logan’s great aunt, we were able to sign up to attend. Later, we found out our group was the first church from the United States to go to and support Ancla de Amor!

We first got to know Ancla in 2021 through friends in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico. We fell in love with the entire orphanage immediately, especially with all of the children. The wonderful feelings of love and spirituality we felt there were beyond description. They asked me to represent Papa Noel at Christmas time and it ended up being one of the best days of my entire life. We will always love, respect and support this “piece of heaven on earth.” May God’s greatest blessings be with you all.

Ancla has been one of my favorite things about living in Mexico! While visiting Ancla I’ve seen nothing but love for these children. The kids have the perfect blend of play time and daily chores that give them a sense of fulfillment and identity. I’ve often taken friends there and on their first visit they have tears of joy as they leave, because they truly see first hand the power of love and the conviction of Ancla’s staff to give these children a better life. This is no orphanage to me, in the sense of what I think of to be an orphanage, this is a large family living in a ranch and trying to survive as best they can.

Twenty years ago I started going to “Pan de Vida Orphanage” in Queretero, Mexico. This, soon turned into something which became very dear to my heart.  We also started going to “Esperanza para Ti”, (another orphanage) and we always love the children and staff there, as well as the culture. We started sponsoring children we had gotten to know so we could put a little extra into their lives. Children of Hope is a great team which lets us get up close and personal which we really love. God has allowed us the opportunity to serve and bless these people.

My husband and I were invited by a friend to Ancla at the beginning of 2021.  Having adopted a three day old Mexican baby boy thirty five years ago, we were hoping we could help find homes for these special children.  After talking with Brian and Clarissa, I learned that the children were not currently allowed to be adopted.  They would remain at Ancla until they turned eighteen.   I couldn’t even imagine caring for 25 children (and the number was growing) til they reached adulthood.  But Ancla’s goal is not just to care for these children, but to make a difference for good in each of their lives.
