Update on Ensenada

Blessings friends; life is thriving in Mexico. I have put together a video and some pictures to share to thank you all for your prayers and support as Jesus works miracles for the people of Rosarito, Tijuana, Ensenada, and the surrounding communities. A few times I mention the "Colonias" we have visited, but wanted to paint a picture of them in your mind. Colonia really means neighborhood for the Spanish speakers of this amazing country, but there aren't any public pools or paper routes here. A few "convenience" stores are scattered among the colonias... people sell sodas, candies, and bread from their porches. Our first outreach venture to the colonia up the mountain, our guide told us we would never make the trip if it rained... the rutty, dirt roads turn to mud and make travelling impossible. For this people group, the ocean view may be breathtaking, a dollar movie theater just a fifteen minute drive away.. however, most children have never seen the paved highway just down the hill. So I invite you my friends, as I share a snippet of the experiences I've been blessed to have.. The city of Ensenada is about two hours south of the US/Mexico border- below you can look, see, and listen to the ministries available to me for the last two weeks.

Canyon Cordero, Baja California

My mission team had a wonderful week of blessing a poor community with two new bathrooms.
This is a look at our time with the families of Canyon Cordero- The Canyon of the Lamb.
It's amazing to see lives transformed when followers of Jesus act out the love of God in practical ways. His presence and His love are so overwhelming; His financial provision for our projects has been a miracle in and of itself.



Alllll I need is YOU, LORD!
