Pueblos Hermanos

Pueblo Hermanos is part of the collaboration of the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) along the 2,000 mile border between their two countries, one of seven border ministries.	A bi-national team focuses on evangelism and church development, community health and development, and hands-on cross cultural mission experiences for U.S. and Mexican Presbyterians. A committee of Mexican and U.S. Presbyterians oversees the work.
Evangelism Church Planting The church exists to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others and to be the Body of Christ together. We have planted three churches and assist the Northwest Border Presbytery of Mexico in reaching its goals of 10 self supporting, self governing and self reproducing churches in Baja California in the next ten years.

Mission Team Opportunities We facilitate groups coming to Tijuana and other parts of Baja California to share in the life and mission of one of the local Mexican Presbyterian Churches, helping and serving as well as relating to and learning from their Mexican brothers and sisters. Also mission teams from Mexico to the U.S.A. For more information follow the link; to discuss scheduling a trip e-mail (wsoldwisch@earthlink.net) or call the Rev. Bill Soldwisch, 619 429-8851.	Community Development & Service To demonstrate the love of Christ for the whole person, the church is involved in ministries of compassion and development. Working in poor neighborhoods in East Tijuana with health and hygiene classes for children and adults, parenting classes, training health promoters, livelihood projects, and reduced cost breakfasts in the schools, our Nurse Martha Gonzalez also helps people solve their health problems and helps communities get clinics and government services.
Churches There are 15 Presbyterian churches and missions in Baja California with their different communities, histories and ministries. Pueblos Hermanos has planted the churches in the El Lago, El Pipila and La Planicie neighborhoods of Tijuana.	Bi-national Relations We encourage and facilitate collaboration and mutual understanding between U.S. and Mexican Presbyterians. Other partner agencies doing complementary work include Baja Presbyterian Missions, Sonora-Arizona Ministries, and Korean missionaries the Rev. Sung Gyon Lee of the Presbyterian Church of Korea and Rev. Pablo Lim of the Korean Presbyterian Church in America.
