Our Team


Our HCCM Team includes you.  We are thankful that you are visiting this site and learning about the children in Panama.  We want YOU to get involved.  We also want you to meet those working full-time and on a volunteer basis to care for these orphans, so you can better know with whom you are partnering.  So, we have asked them to write a message to you in their own words:

STAFF
Matt Hedspeth, Co-Founder and Vice President
God is showing me that He has reserved these abandoned children to do a mighty work in His Kingdom.  "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me." Jesus (Matthew 18:5).  God is using these children to teach me how to love the way that He loves.  As with these children, we are all orphans before we are adopted into God's family through knowing Jesus Christ.  We are praying that they will know the FULLNESS of God.


Misty Hedspeth, Co-Founder and Treasurer
How amazing, to work with these abandoned children is the opportunity of a life time.  Thank you for helping make this dream a reality.  Check out my psuedo-resume on "Our Founders", but I want you to know that my heart is truly to help these orphans any way that I am able.  I praise God that He placed this calling on our lives.  What a privilege to serve our Father.  He cares for these children so deeply and it is exciting to see Him work miracles in their lives.

Theresa Hauber, U.S. Administrative Assistant
note: Theresa puts in countless hours on a volunteer basis to work on many details of the ministry.  We could not be doing this work without her!
