We are so excited to be following God’s leading to serve as full-time missionaries with Youth With A Mission/Homes of Hope in Tijuana, Mexico.
Tijuana is only 15 miles from San Diego, CA, and this area represents the largest disparity between wealth and poverty in the world. Around 3,000 people move to this area per month, seeking a better life. YWAM’s local staff of around 250 missionaries works alongside area churches to share Christ with many who are searching for change. We are excited to help the Homes of Hope ministry meet the physical needs of those in poverty by building homes for them, which impacts these families in so many ways. We will also join other YWAM missionaries to work with these families and other area families and youth through discipleship programs, tutoring, apprenticeship programs, youth group events, etc., to change their futures and give them hope....to show them other ways of living than drug cartels or prostitution, as well as impacting them to become missionaries themselves to continue sharing the hope they’ve received with others who are living in the same types of hard situations that many of them came from.
We are excited and humbled that God would invite us to join Him in this ministry to share His love with others in such practical ways!
A verse that has meant a lot to our family over the years is Joshua 1:9, “This is my command – be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
We would be honored to have you partner with our team, either through prayer and/or through financial assistance, so that we can continue to minister in Mexico! We are so blessed by those who are giving to expand Christ’s Kingdom work…. demonstrating how the body of Christ works together in different capacities, but as one body, according to 1 Corinthians 12. Through your giving, the poor are given homes, many are shown Christ’s love and hope for a different future, and communities are being changed with the light of Christ. Proverbs 19:17 says, “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done.”
Thank you so much for your prayers and support! May God bless you mightily!
