Buenas! My name is Emma Lopez-Garcia and I am a full-time missionary with YWAM San Diego/Baja, serving in Tijuana, Mexico.
In 2024, the Lord began a season of complete surrender in my life. During that time, He stirred my heart for the nations—especially throughout Latin America. After completing my Discipleship Training School (DTS) in January 2025 and a nine-month Chronological Bible School, God confirmed His call for me to serve Him in full-time missions. He has given me a deep love for the lost, especially young people, and a growing burden for Latin America, Nicaragua, and the unreached people of the 10/40 Window. My prayer is to see every tribe, tongue, and nation encounter the hope and love of Jesus Christ.
My Ministry I serve with YWAM San Diego/Baja, where the heart of our base is sharing God's generosity with a broken world. Through a variety of ministries, we seek to demonstrate the love of Christ while proclaiming the hope of the Gospel. I have the privilege of serving with Hope Zone- An initiative focused on creating safe spaces where children and families can experience hope, love, and community. Through education, mentoring, discipleship, vocational training, and outreach in Tijuana's red-light district, we walk alongside people as they encounter Jesus, discover their identity in Him, and are equipped to bring transformation to their families and communities.
Join the Mission‼️
I believe missions were never meant to be done alone. God calls some to go and others to send, and together we get to participate in what He is doing among the nations. I would be honored to have you partner with me through prayer and financial support as I continue serving in Tijuana and wherever God leads in the future.
My monthly support goal is $1,500, which helps provide for:
• Housing and staff fees
• Ministry and outreach expenses
• Transportation, gas, and insurance
• Groceries and everyday living expenses
• Resources needed to serve the community effectively
Most importantly, I ask that you would pray—for the people of Tijuana, for the youth and families we serve, and that God would continue to open doors for the Gospel to reach those who have never experienced His love.
Whether you choose to pray, give financially, or simply follow along with what God is doing, your partnership is making an eternal impact.
Thank you for considering joining me as we share God's generosity with a broken world and make Jesus known among every tribe, tongue, and nation.
Emma
