Third Floor Expansion! We are so excited to show you some photos of the expansion to our third floor! The foundation has been laid for the new commercial kitchen/dining hall and the firepit has been moved to its new location on the open, upper patio. Next week all the supports will be taken down on the second floor. What’s Next? There are two things on the list of what comes next - railings and block walls. Two of the walls for new building will be made of block. Once those are in place, the metal studs that have already been donated can be put up to finish the walls for the building. As soon as possible, we would like to get railings put up on the third floor for safety. The fire pit is ready for use, however some teams, especially those with children, will not be able to use it until railings are installed. ...

We’re so excited to see how the Lord has started to raise some of the money needed to purchase Connections House (our team dorm housing and current residence). We just wanted to keep you all updated. Our first payment of $55,000 will be due on March 1st. We would appreciate your continued prayers as we continue to seek the Lord’s will concerning this amazing property He has provided. If you feel led to give towards the purchase of this property, you can find more detailed information here. (Please scroll to the bottom for directions on how to make your tax deductible donation.) ...

Remember to check out our Amazon List to see how you can help us furnish the new ministry house! We found a great deal on some bunk beds for only $179! There are also dozens of items priced as low as $9.14 to $14.99. If the Lord will put it on the hearts of 75-100 people to buy just one or two items on the list, we can have the home furnished in no time! Blessings to you all! ...

The last weekend in May kicked off three weeks with four teams and three home builds. It was a very busy, hectic, amazing three weeks filled with ministry, new and renewed friendships, sharing the gospel, and so much more. We know that you have heard us say this so many times, but we can’t say it enough. Without the prayers and support of you, our friends and family, this ministry would not be possible. Many have received Christ in their heart for the first time, the fatherless and senior citizens have been blessed, food has been distributed, and secure, weatherproof homes have been given to families in need - and so much more! ...

Picking up where we last left off, which brings us to April & May… Family tradition at Easter time - coloring eggs. This was Brian’s first time, as it’s not a common thing to do in Mexico. IMG_5612 Low A little one receiving food at the Tijuana Dump. ...

It has been a while since our last update, so we have a lot to share! We’ll try and keep it simple and save some for the next update as well. We have been blessed by so many teams! From February to April we hosted ten teams! Take a look at what we’ve been up to through these photos: 2015-02-09 11.32 A team from Calvary Chapel South Bay came to host a children’s ministry training conference at our church. They also blessed the children of our 10:14 Kids’ Club with a day at the park with a devotion, games, barbecue lunch, songs, and more! ...

We are so eager to tell you about all that the Lord is doing here in Mexico! We have a new ministry opportunity that He has given us that will hopefully bring more teams to Rosarito and get people on fire for missions and serving! 2015-01-29 12.06 Casa de Los Angeles This is the name of a children’s home (orphanage) being built just a couple miles outside of downtown Rosarito. We are overjoyed to tell you about how God has opened the door for us to partner with some southern California churches in the construction of this new home. Andy, who is the pastor of La Crescenta Presbyterian Church, recently came to visit as he was getting things prepared for an upcoming team trip. We have worked with Andy in the past to help obtain materials for the children’s home and to hire some local workers, and this trip was no different. Except when it came to the point where he needed to hire a Construction Coordinator and our contacts weren’t quite panning out. More money has been raised for the project and the board is ready to get things rolling, which means there’s a need to have someone here that can help manage things. Obviously that fits right in with Ron’s experience, as well as our team ministry here. So when the Lord put it on Andy’s heart to ask Ron to fill this position, he (we) gladly accepted. ...
