We have partnered with a number of other Missionaries, Ministries, and Organisations here in the Tijuana/Rosarito area, and work alongside them to bring the love of Jesus and practical support in whatever ways we are able. Here are the main ones we have partnered with:
Missionary Mums group
We felt strongly when we returned from sabbatical in NZ that God wanted us to have an aspect to our ministry that was to support other missionaries. Missionary life can be very lonely, either due to busyness or isolation.
This group was started out of that. To be a place a support, friendship and collaboration.
Hearts of Baja
Every month we buy groceries funded by Hearts of Baja and drop them off at a local orphanage. We also separately fund-raise in order to be able to take fruit and vegetables as well.
Fruit and veges are a rare treat when money is so tight as it is for many orphanages here.
Niños de Fe / Baja Dream Center.
We partner with the Niños de Fe children’s home and Baja Dream Center in a new ministry, started early last year in order to minister to a specific community in Tijuana. They run life skills classes each week focused on biblical principles.
We help by bringing donations for the families in the community, teaching free English classes to the kids, and helping with whatever is needed in regards to community support.
Baja Christian Ministries
We started working with Baja Christian Ministries (BCM) at the end of last year.
BCM are house building and outreach ministry which builds 100 houses for impoverished families every year. They also run the Purple Book discipleship program all across Mexico.
We will be involved in administration, organising and hosting missions teams, leading interns, communication and social media, and working on specific community projects.
Project Little Child
Project Little Child is a ministry of BCM.
It is a free daycare based in a community church for impoverished solo mums to have a place to safely leave their children so they can earn an income.
Sarah serves on the advisory board as well as doing administration and both of us do on the ground projects and outreaches with them.
We hope this will be the pilot daycare of many to come.
Hope Chapel Rosarito
Hope Chapel Rosarito is the local church we attend here in Mexico.
For more than 4 years they have been going to the border river zone twice a month and feeding and ministering to the homeless and deported people.
Sarah and Kiel (our eldest son) have found great joy in joining this ministry to help with the first aid table doing mostly wound cleaning and infection care.
