Family Housing Project Vision Realized with your Help
The Family Project Vision. This has been the long awaited vision and perhaps one could say destiny for La Roca Ministries. This ¨Family housing¨ project has been part of our grand objective and goal from the beginning, with the aim to bring families together, instead of separating them. We want to build 6 houses, each unit costing $8,000. Each house built will give an opportunity for a family to start over again. To not only live in some house, but a home built with the love of Christ. They will receive counseling as a family and the husband will be allowed to live with family after his first three months are up. This will give them a chance to heal from past hurts and move on to a brighter future with Christ together.
Unlike most programs and recovery centers now-a-days, which use the individualistic, medical/disease model to address problems that originate with the sin and the psyche (i.e. the soul), we here at La Roca have the idea that people and their problems are not purely dealt with on an individualistic manner, but as communities.

Carlos, Rossy & Girls 
La Roca Ministries reaches out to touch people’s lives that are devastated by poverty, neglect and despair. These people find themselves enslaved to drugs and alcohol and living in the streets of Tijuana, Mexico. Our desire is to mirror Christ’s compassion and concern to these people.
It has been said, “give a person a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a life.” We believed in “teaching people how to fish”. We want to see lives transformed and we believe that comes through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our program seeks to help rebuild lives by making disciples; raising up men, women and teens as future leaders and missionaries, and sending them forth to advance the Kingdom of God on earth.
Thank you for your prayers and financial support. You are making a difference today and for eternity! -
My name is Amanda and I am 22 years old. I have been coming to Tj since I was 14. I came down here last month (January) to stay for a year. Its amazing being here and watching people’s lives being changed by the various ministries. I am so blessed to be here. I know a lot of people worry about the violence and decide not to come. But there is no reason to be afraid. Out of all the times I’ve been down here, I’ve never had a problem with anything. We’ve actually gone to the beach in the evening had a small worship service before. You shouldn’t wander off alone to late, but it’s not like you should do that in any city. I’m more scared when I’m wandering around my own city at night then I am here. All I know is that God called me here, and nothing will stop me because I have him on my side. There is a phrase I keep posted that says, “Fear knocked at the door, and faith answered, there was no one there.” What more is there to say ?
