The youth hit the streets again inviting people to church at the local flea market.  They set up a little booth with prizes and games and the next Sunday, one of the men they had invited came to the church!  He lives in the neighborhood but did not realize the church was there.  For those of you who have not visited Gracia del Calvario, it is nestled in a neighborhood with homes on every side and not visible from any main streets.  We are excited to welcome this new person to our congregation!

VBS is in the works! Laura & Daira have been planning and practicing for an event at the church for the kids this month and again in June alongside Club Dust when they come to build six houses. This is a wonderful way for our youth to get involved in ministry and outreach and fun for all!

QR codes! Most of you know what they are. Those little boxes with scrambled info that you point your camera at, and it takes you to the webpage. Well, GDC is getting techie and they designed new brochures IN SPANISH with QR CODES that take you to their Facebook pages and to Google Maps to find the church! Amazing! Most adults in Tijuana have cell phones so this will be a great tool to invite people.

We plan to finish up the school year strong with our two tutoring clubs and lunch kitchen for the kids. We had a team from Hume Lake at the lunch kitchen last month who came with Kristy Struska @ Connections House and everyone had a great time! The teams mean so much to our ministry and are such a great help as our small staff cannot plan a lot of events on top of the regular church and other ministries.

if you would like to p lan a day trip with us, we are here to help you!

Jose Luis ministers at the Tijuana La Mesa prison every Tuesday with Baja Prison Ministries and is looking forward to going to El Salvador to minister in the prisons there in October. He has also been working to pay for his ministry expenses and help provide for our family. Many ask what they do at the prison? A team of 6 to 10 men enter with a audio speaker for worship music, a Biblical message and they pray with the men and encourage them. Jose Luis brings over 300 pieces of candy every week, so he is very well liked. There are about 15 men living in each small cell and over 250 men in one aisle of cells! Conditions are extremely rough, and they don’t leave the cell to eat or anything else! Later in the day some of the men participate in a Bible Study or Purple Book class. Occasionally a group will visit with sub sandwiches, toothbrushes, and toilet paper. Wow! The things we take for granted. These men need the HOPE that only Jesus can give them.

All of us at Grace of Calvary Ministries want to remind you how much you are appreciated and that your donations are making a big difference in the lives of many people in Tijuana. Like many places, Tijuana is suffering, and we need to bring the light of Jesus to our neighbors as that is where God has called us to serve. Please rejoice with me as I will soon complete 17 years of ministry in Mexico and 70 trips around the sun. My health is great, and I am encouraged and passionate about all that God is doing!  Thank you for being on the team!

TO JESUS BE THE GLORY AND HONOR FOREVER!!
