Baja Family Outreach

Pastor Jonathan Gee and our friends from Brentwood, Ca visited us this December to help bless our community and get construction going on the new community center and Sunday school classrooms. Our annual Christmas and shoe outreach in Tijuana was a true blessing and saw over 2,500 people attend our outreach services and receive a free pair of shoes and a meal. The Gospel was preached, many people came to Christ, received prayer, and had their most basic needs filled. While the group was here they also poured the foundation of the first phase of construction on the new community center and Sunday school classrooms on the land behind the church. We can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work and support of this ministry.

As Christmas approaches we are preparing for our Christmas service and party at the church to provide members of the congregation with a warm meal and the children with Christmas presents. Without this special service many of these children would receive nothing for Christmas. We still need helping providing for the Christmas presents and food, consider making a contribution in the upcoming week to help bring joy to the children of the canyon. With $20 you can help us purchase a gift and provide a meal.

God Bless you this holiday season,

We are so excited to begin construction on the  Sunday school classrooms/Community Center, behind the church. We have started clearing and leveling the land to prepare for the foundation of phase 1 of building. Thank you so much for all of your continued prayers and support of this much needed project that will be an enormous blessing to the church and community. The new space will also allow us to better host visiting missionary groups.

But the hard work is just beginning and we still have a long way to go to reach our fundraising goal for this project. If you would like to donate specifically to this project note community center on your donation.

Here are some photos of us beginning construction!

Summer is off and running and God has been blessing our church and community in so many ways. We continue to share the Gospel and strengthen our congregation through our services as well as serve breakfast to the local children and their families all summer and it has been fun serving alongside all of those that have visited us. Thank you for your humble hearts and willingness to bless these children with a warm meal.

We have had many activities and special services for children, have complete the new front deck at the church, and continue to do outreach and home construction in the canyon. We are also very blessed to have such a wonderful staff of volunteers dedicating their time to serve here at Iglesia Familia de Dios.

We hope this new website and blog will allow us to stay connected and share information and stories about the amazing work God is doing here. We especially look forward to sharing more about our plans to begin constructing our Christian community center, Centro 29:11.

Dios les bendiga,
