  Meeting Needs
 

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me. I was sick and you took care of me. I was in prison and you visited me"
Matthew 25:35, 36

Along the Border:

  • Every week we suppy beans and rice for pastors and missionaries to distribute to families in the lower Juarez Valley region across from Fabens, Texas. We also provide a sack full of groceries every week for these pastors' families, helping care for them as they care for so many others.
  • In addition, we distribute tons of food donated by churches and other organizations, such as baby food, canned goods, cereals, potatoes, and eggs.
  • We help Mexican children to attend school by providing necessary school supplies every August through the School Supply Kit Drive, and we bless these children in December with a "shoebox" full of toys, gloves, and lots of other goodies through the Christmas Shoebox Drive.
  • We distribute new & gently used blankets, coats, shoes & clothes as they are donated. Because of storage issues, we can only receive winter things in winter and summer things in summer. And we especially look for children's items—they're always growing!
  • We share in the ministries of pastors on both sides of the Rio Grande through prayer and planning, and we assist their efforts by supplying them with Bibles, teaching and enrichment materials, and various other resources.
In the Community:
  • We partner with doctors, nurses, and dentists who offer care to the poor through free clinics helping them to meet both physical & spiritual needs.
  • We partner with church mission teams in week–long community and area projects—everything from painting & repair work to Vacation Bible School for community kids.
  • We minister to the elderly and poor through Biblical devotion and prayer time every Tuesday at 10AM, sending them home with beans and rice to help "stretch" their fixed incomes.
  • We minister to kids and teens every Wednesday night from 6–8PM, getting them off the streets and into a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. For most of our kids, Wednesday IS "church"!
