Hi we’re the Kalinowski Family!

Our names are Aaron & Lynnea, and our 3 children are Gideon, Emma, and Havilah. We serve as full time missionaries in Tijuana, Mexico with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). YWAM’s goal is to know God and make Him known and here in Tijuana we do that in multiple, dynamic ways, one of which is an international ministry called Homes of Hope. Homes of Hope engages a broken world with God’s generosity, setting families free from the cycle of poverty by partnering with outside teams who come and build a home for qualifying families in only two days. In Baja, Mexico, Homes of Hope has built over 4000 homes, and over 7000 worldwide.

We also work with a ministry in Zona Norte, a neighborhood around the corner from North America’s largest red-light district. Here in this dark place, we share God’s light in our community center called Hope Zone. At Hope Zone we create a safe place for families to grow in community while learning to walk with God. Through the ministry of Hope Zone the families there learn that their hope is in God and not in drugs or making money in any ungodly ways.

We are here long term and are building a team of ministry partners to join us in all the work that God has called us to here in Tijuana, Mexico, through prayer and financial support.

From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you for your support and generosity to our family.

Aaron, Lynnea, Gideon, Emma, and Havilah
