V.O.B-A-Gift this Christmas Season!

“Back to school for the kids and with new back packs filled with school supplies! Thanks to your support!”

As Christmas approaches, we thought we would invite you to participate in something new this year.  Many of you are familiar with what we call, ‘catalogue gifting’.  A mission organization sends out a catalogue with various ‘gifts’ you can give toward.

We would like to offer you the same opportunity to donate this year, through Voice of the Bride, with an offering of various ways you can help our Mexican brothers & sisters in need.  You may choose one of any of the following items you like, and contribute towards that need.  In doing so, you will be helping to provide for many very poor families, and/or individuals, and to those we are ministering to on a weekly basis.  As hearts are softened, through needs being met, more openness to the Lord Jesus comes through.

Vicente with van load of Papaya's

How many folks does it take to move a van load of papaya’s?

Or how about, how many people does it take, to move the same load of papaya’s multiple times (i.e. on the truck, off the truck, on another truck to distribute at the outreach, etc.)?

Let me tell you, it takes many good, and faithful helpers! In TJ, we call this process “hormega” or ‘Ant’, as it takes an army of ant workers to move a pile from one side to another.

We are so grateful to have such a wonderful partnership with our brothers and sisters in Tijuana. Actually, it really ministers to me. I have realized how amazing it is to be surrounded by like-minded individuals, who work together for the cause of the poor. The obvious blessing, is that the work goes so much faster.    The greater blessing, however, is the unity.         Click here to read the whole story.
