Treasurer
Manuel Gregory
Growing up I was raised by Christian parents who always had an open heart for helping people. From an early age I learned what it meant to care for others beyond myself. Our home was always occupied with extended family from people at church to people my parents were just trying to help. Some of my fondest memories come from when we assisted at nursing homes, prisons, foster homes, public schools, and numerous other outreaches.
I can honestly say that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, though it took some time for me. In my young adult years, I stayed away from God only to find that He would be my ultimate contentment. At 21, I fully surrendered my life to him and haven’t been the same since. Now, God has developed that same heart in me for people. A few years back, God told me I would be helping in Spanish ministry, even though I didn’t know Latino people! Through a turn of events God brought me to Miriam and Robert Baldwin, the rest is history. They will forever be family to me.
I am grateful for the journey He has us on with Love Without Borders Ministries. The best is yet to come.
Secretary
Saira Realegeno
Saira Realegeno comes from a Christian family. Her father Carlos Realegeno was a pastor for more than 15 years. He is the one who planted in Saira, along with her brothers, passion and service for children. They served in El Salvador in a community of San Juan Opico la Libertad in Central America.
When Saira was 6 years old, she established a relationship with God by placing her faith in Jesus as her personal savior. This is what inspired her from an early age, along with her older brother Carlos Josue, to share the message of love and salvation in Jesus, with the children of their neighborhood.
In her adolescence, Saira, served as a volunteer with her father and later as a coordinator in the NGO Compassion International. For 6 years they were able to serve 300 children from low-income homes. During this time, she learned even more about the needs of children in her country.
In 2009, Saira started her own violence prevention program with low-income children, who were vulnerable to dangerous situations in the country of El Salvador.
Together with her younger brother Bruce Enoc and her boyfriend Herbert Villegas, (now her husband), they began giving hope to this group of children in San Juan Opico. They were helping the children with their needs, but also leading them to know Jesus Christ in a more personal way.
For more than 6 years Saira and her husband along with their family were at the forefront, opening aid groups for children with different courses of school reinforcement. Literacy, music, and computer courses, as well as nutritious snacks were provided to the children who met every weekend. At the end of the year, they gave an incentive with the annual "Creating Smiles" party. Many friends and family of Saira from different countries have contributed as donors, bringing joy to this group of children in El Salvador.
In 2016, Saira travelled to the United States to join her husband Herbert. Even from abroad they have been giving financial support to the children's ministry of El Salvador. God united Luis Chacón with this children's ministry. Today, he is the current leader between the 2 communities of the city of San Juan Opico in El Salvador.
Saira and her husband Herbert, are now united with the ministry of Love Without Borders. They have joined Miriam and her husband Robert Baldwin, in their vision of blessing children and families around the world.
