Teens at Casa de Pastor

Casa de Pastor is a ministry we have supported for many years. The ministry is located in San Vicente, south of Ensenada. The ministry provides a place of shelter to mothers and their children with intentions of discipling, teaching usable skills and promoting a better life for the future of their children.

In April, a group of our teens joined some of our adults for a weekend serving and assisting with remodel projects and having time entertaining the children. It is also a time that our Youth Leader, Daniel Diaz, to encourage and disciple the young people in ministry with a broader understanding of missions.

Watch for future trips.

Pastor Bob in the Mission Field

Our pastor Bob has returned to teaching pastors and leaders in foreign lands with his friend pastor Phu. They have had a long relationship as far back when pastor Bob first ministered in Vietnam in 1997.

They have reunited to teach in many countries in Asia and are presently on a two week teaching mission to India.

Please keep them in prayer and you can support pastor Bob through our Offerings tab.

Casa de Pastor Update

Work continues on updating and repairs to the Casa de Pastor facilities in San Vicente, Baja, Mexico. Since 2019 teams have been faithful to return to add insulated ceilings, new paint and flooring to upstairs sleeping rooms occupied by mothers and their children. A sewing room was completed that women learn to sew and produce clothing for clothing companies for personal income.

During renovations it was discovered that the floor was sagging due to the absence of supporting floor joists. A team effort with Moreno Valley Calvary Chapel assisted in jacking up the floor and installing blocking. A new post and footing was added in the dinning area to add support where a beam was sagging. .

Additional ministry has been to supply checkups for the children, birthday gifts and support other needs.

The Lord has supplied financially to purchase the what is needed to complete the remaining sleeping rooms. We now need volunteers to go down and assist in finishing. Go to our event page for future tripes typically planned for the 3rd weekend of the month.

Haiti Missions Trip Day 3

Day 3 began the same way day 2 started with breakfast followed by a devotional by our brother Nolan.  Soon after our devotional we had a study session with the students of the training center. The subject at hand was the “Inductive Bible Study.” It was a great opportunity for us to be able to share a little of our knowledge on the subject with them and how important this training is since they are just  beginning their 3 years here at the Haiti Bible Training Center. 

After the session with the students we got back to work on the benches and the water heater platform, we completed one of the benches and started taking apart another one, of course we were careful to save the screws as we took them out because, we can’t just run to the hardware store and get more, There isn’t a “Home-depot “ here plus there’s a strike and the stores are not open. There was a lot of talk of riots that were supposed to happen but its been really quite. Actually there’s little traffic on the streets since there’s is no gas in the island, literally no gas. Thankfully, the Lord prompted Pastor Brian to have the guys from the training center fill 30 5 gallon jugs with gasoline before they ran out and that’s what they have been using to move around town.

While we were in class with the students the ladies were already hard at work moving things around and reorganizing the tool cabinet and getting ready for VBS. When the time came to let the kids in, they were ready and things went smooth as could be, it was obvious that the children had a lot of fun. They learned about Joseph and his visions, they had games and snacks and just had a great time with them. The first day of VBS was a success.

Evening came and we gathered to have dinner and the evening devotional by Pastor Brian, directly after that Pastor Bob had a time with the students on “The Character of a Servant”. By then it was getting late so we shared our experiences and how God spoke to us during the day and lights out. The morning and the evening was the third day.

Haiti Missions Trip 2021 Day 2

After a few hours of sleep we began day 2 of our time here in Haiti with a devotional and breakfast. The ladies here at the bible training center made us a delicious wheat porridge and fresh bananas. Some of us had never had anything like that but we were thankful and actually liked it. Then it was back to work. The guys took apart some benches that needed to be refurbished while the ladies organized the medical cabinet and the stock room. Before we knew it, it was lunch time and time to welcome Jorge as he was reunited with us and greeted by the local children welcoming him like he was a rock star. 

The afternoon brought more work and fellowship here at the training center. The men began working on the kitchen awning that holds the water heater while waiting for the paint to dry on the benches. Neither job was finished but together we made a lot of progress. Meanwhile, the main gate was opened and the local neighborhood children were invited in to be fed. We noticed quickly that most of the children were shoeless so shoes were ordered for them. We were all blessed and moved by what the Lord has been doing and how he has provided for the work being done and the needs that arise. GOD IS FAITHFUL!! If you just come with us you will see firsthand the things that God does when you have no other source to draw from. You HAVE to depend on Him even for the right amount of screws to finish a job.
