Water Ahoy!

by David Mora | June 4, 2023 12:52 AM

All the way from southwest Missouri, our team from the Church of God (Holiness) is back for the second time in the port of Ensenada!! Seeing the outstanding Pacific Ocean while we drive to our lodging reminded us how amazing God's creation is and we are so excited for his plans for our trip here. 😄🌅

Same Places, New Faces

by David Mora | June 4, 2023 1:08 AM

We arrived at Cande's pastor church, all safe and sound! We are thrilled to see that the temple some of us visited two years ago has evolved. Thank God for his blessings!! Pastor Cande was happy seeing the team again but he was even more excited because there are a lot of new faces within our mission team! We are very excited to work alongside of the local church in serving their community and reaching people for Christ ???

Church

by Marveli Aliaga | June 5, 2023 12:16 AM

Today was amazing! Our team separated into two groups. Each team worked with the local church. We shared testimonies, sang beautiful worship songs, heard an impactful message, and spent time with our family in Christ in each church. We also went out around the community to invite kids and families to our VBS that will start tomorrow. God’s voice was clear in every moment.

A Blessed Sunday

by Marveli Aliaga | June 5, 2023 12:21 AM

We also celebrated two birthdays! We played games, sang, danced, and ate cake! Today was a day of great community for our team and for the local church. We even visited the Ensenada lookout point. God always amazes us with His beautiful creation. 
A Blessed Sunday

Praying for Jose Manuel Parra

by José Verdugo Garcia | June 6, 2023 12:05 AM

What a blessing to be able to pray for somebody that really has faith in our Lord and Savior. Jose Manuel Parra is a man of faith. Yes, he has a health issue and has a son who is an addict but he believes that someday his son will be in restoration. His faith encourages us.






faith make me feel encouraged. Thank you Jesus for this man and his faith!

Daniel and the Lion's Den

by José Verdugo Garcia | June 6, 2023 12:22 AM

Today we told the story of Daniel and the Lion's Den. The reason Daniel was sent to the lion's den was because Daniel got caught praying to God. The King sent him to the lion's den but Daniel knew that God was with him and that God was going to protect him. Just like these children now know that God is with them and will protect them all the time. God bless the children.

Blessing the Homeless

by Angel Espinoza Coronel | June 7, 2023 12:44 AM

What an amazing way to start the day! We began preparing sandwiches early in the morning for the homeless in the community. As we were giving out the sandwiches and blessing the people, we were also sharing with them the good news and that Jesus loves us all.

Soccer after VBS

by Angel Espinoza Coronel | June 7, 2023 12:51 AM

What a game! After having fun at VBS, we decided to go play soccer with the kids that still wanted to have more fun! It was a great time to also talk to their parents and bond with the local families.

Prayer Service

by Angel Espinoza Coronel | June 7, 2023 12:59 AM

To end the day, we went to a prayer service at El Buen Pastor. There was a lot of worship, many prayer requests, and with them, many tears. It was a very touching moment, and there was a lot of joy for all of us. The church prayed for our team, and we prayed for them. May The Lord bless our connections, and may He show His love through us.

Meeting Lourdes

by Adriana Leal Espinoza | June 8, 2023 1:46 AM

Today we had the opportunity to visit some families that are church members of El Buen Pastor. Seeing how we connected with the people, prayed for them, and blessed them with food baskets was beautiful. This lady here was very good to us, we talked about her family, gardening, and she even gave us a gift!

Last Day of VBS

by Adriana Leal Espinoza | June 8, 2023 1:52 AM

We had such a good time with the kids from both churches (El Buen Pastor and Roca de Salvación). Even though it was our last day of VBS, we had a great time playing with the kids, sharing a bible story, and doing crafts! We had more kids than the last couple of days, and we encouraged them to keep going to church and made sure they know Jesus loves them.

Water Blow and Pelicans Go!

by David Mora | June 9, 2023 2:44 AM

Today started at La Bufadora, a blowhole, where we got to see this amazing marine phenomenon, listen to some mariachi and buy some souvenirs for our families and friends back home. We thank God for all the good work this week but also for the moments like this where He gives us rest.

Ziplines and Hanging Bridges

by David Mora | June 9, 2023 2:47 AM

Now it’s countdown to go back home, but before we leave we decided to go on a quick escapade! Las Cañadas is a very cool campground and there we had tons of fun! After our mission trip we are kind of tired, but while ziplining, soaring through the air, we remember His word in Isaiah 40:31 “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles…”. The future is in God’s hands, the mission continues and we are expecting His great plans.
