Sharing the Gospel and Growing Churches |
New Missions and
Home Bible Studies
Pueblos Hermanos has launched a new church development
led by Co-coordinator Enrique Romero through home Bible studies in the
eastern growing edge of Tijuana, doing a door to door survey to identify
community needs and to invite people to study the Bible. This is in
coordination with, and helping to lead the Presbytery’s new vision of
reaching the people and building up new churches throughout Baja California.
Several churches have started their own mission outreach points. The Dios
Es Amor Mission in La Planicie, Tijuana, has started an outreach from the
home of Brother Noé up in the hills of Altiplano 5ta Sección. Folk of

Salud y Vida Health
Impact in Five Neighborhoods Our
Community Health Nurse Martha Gonzalez continues to touch the lives of
families in three poor neighborhoods teaching hygiene and mental health
classes to children and parenting classes to adults (578 students, 137
parents this past school year). She is a gifted and inspiring teacher,
helping people grow in self esteem and communication skills. Out of her
personal contacts with families she shares the Gospel – many are coming to
know Christ as their Lord and Savior and grow in their faith.
This year she has added more systematic preventive health campaigns,
partnering with two NGO’s to provide screening and follow up for early
detection of cancer, diabetes and hypertension in the three poor
neighborhoods she has ministered in plus two more. Health promoters she
trains help motivate participation in screenings and follow-up individuals
who test positive . (more

Mission Teams Build Ministries & Relations
This year mission teams from 18 different churches brought more than 350
people to Mexico to serve and share in the life and ministry of 10
Presbyterian churches in Baja California. They built houses, a class room
and medical dispensary, helped run vacation Bible schools and evangelistic
campaigns, made new friends, worshiped together, played together and prayed
together with their Mexican sisters and brothers. And ate a lot of good
food.
Alex Bahamaca, who was our Mission Team Facilitator in 2001 & 2002,
returned for a week of volunteer work with his wife Laura (who he met on a
mission trip, of course). He drives slower now.
English classes were added this year. Folk from Steel Creek PC of
Charlotte, NC learned English as a 2nd language techniques for
two months and then taught adults, youth and children in La Planicie and El
Pipila. (more Mission Team news on page 3) |
