Our mission is to bring Gods love to dark places and find ways to practically help people in need and we’d love you to partner with us.
Hi, we are a home-schooling family of 6 from Tauranga, New Zealand.
Dad Mike, Mum Sarah, and kids: Michal F17y, Ezekiel M15y, Elisha F14yand Judah M5y.
Mike has been involved with YWAM and King’s Kids as a teenager and has had missions on his heart for many years.
Sarah took a bit longer and jumped on board with the idea while helping as a leader on a Youth group trip to Cambodia 7 years ago.
We felt the San Diego/Mexico area was where God wanted us to be and after knocking on a few doors that didn’t open we made the connection with Coastline church in Carlsbad, North County, San Diego.
We had the opportunity to travel to America for 3 weeks at the end of 2015 and meet the leadership team from Coastline church and meet the team and kids from the Orphanage they run in Tijuana called Niños de Fe (Children of Faith).
Upon our return to New Zealand we were offered the voluntary position of Campus Pastors of Coastline Baja, Mexico which we would be starting upon our arrival.
1 year later we arrived in Mexico.
Although we initially moved to Mexico to work alongside an orphanage and plant a church, actually moving here has seen those plans change for varying reasons. When things didn’t work out as planned we waited on God to provide as we knew we are where He wants us to be.
We can now see Gods sovereign hand of protection in every circumstance.
We worked in orphanage support for 2 years with a ministry called LifeChange.
In 2019 we felt God leading away from orphanage support and to focus more on working with communities.
We now partner with a handful of ministries in Community support and development.
We came here with one plan, but God had another and we continue to walk forwards trusting Him.
We would love you to follow our journey and pray for us as we blog about the ins and outs of living in Mexico and reach out to the poor and needy with love and practical help.
