All Those with Willing Hearts are Welcome

Love God. Love People. Touch Lives!

Since 1982 Karen, the founder and director of Come to the Rainforest Foundation, has had a heart for the indigenous peoples in the Amazonian rainforest. While in Bible college Karen had a strong desire to serve the indigenous who live in the remote rainforest. But Karen’s life went in several different directions, all moving her farther and farther away from the dream of serving in the rainforest. The desire and dream was tucked carefully away in the secret place of her heart. Karen thought she would never serve in the rainforest. But God has such a love for His children that he knows their secret desires and dreams and is willing to make them come true...at just the right time.

Well you guessed it! In 2012, 30 years since her dream began, Karen found herself going on a medical mission to the Ecuadorian rainforest. Karen’s dream became a reality. As you can imagine, Karen went and it didn’t take her long to simply fall in love with the indigenous peoples. One trip was not enough; a hundred trips will never be enough! As a result, Karen founded the Come to the Rainforest Foundation. (a 501c3 charitable foundation)

Karen wants to connect caring people with unique opportunities to work alongside the rainforest tribes. To fulfill that mission, she organizes and leads three differently focused short-term opportunities: cultural immersion trips (i.e. community tourism), humanitarian initiatives (i.e. medical), and faith-based missions. If you have a willing heart and a loving spirit, you are most welcome and Karen hopes that you will join her and COME TO THE RAINFOREST!
