To the churches in the United States … teach sound doctrine.
Dear Brethren, I have been turning and carrying a heavy heart on the matter of the church and state. We are being told that we cannot speak against the homosexual life style because it’s going to be considered a hate crime!
We are being told that we cannot speek against abortion or the right to chose because it’s going to be consider a hate act! And if we do, we are at risk of losing our tax deductible status!
And if we still continue to do so, we are going to be at risk of having our church closed by the law! And if we still do so, we are going to be at risk of going to jail! And in some cases it’s starting already!
How long will the church continue to allow having this gun against our head? This gun is only going to get bigger and bigger as we continue to back off.
How will we finish the race? Will we finish the race as strong as we started, or are we going to finish the race defeated and on our knees begging for rights?
Can the church in the United States afford to send all its missionaries to other countries, when the United States is falling apart?
Can the church in the United States really go to other countries when they don’t have the courage to step up to the plate and be the light right there in there back yard?
Can the church in the United States really in good conscience send missionaries to other countries when all this is happening under our watch?
Is our church so busy with programs that they do not have time to teach their body to stand up for righteousness and truth?
How I am struggling in my heart with this which I am seeing right before my own eyes and hearing Paul’s words to Timothy!
2 Timothy 4:2-4
“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound s doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables!”
Romans 1:21-24
“24- Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,”
How Paul’s description fit’s for today! Paul was willing to stand on truth even if it meant death! The church is the light of the world and we are told not to hid the light but put it for all to see it! Are we still ready for the challenged as Paul wrote to Timothy! May the Peace of our Lord Jesus be with you all.

A Message of Hope from Carlos
Blessing to all and I hope 2009 has had a good beginning! I hope we can all find the courage to continue to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the USA. I know it’s a whole lot easier in third world countries, because of the great need present, however, the Gospel does not need humans needs to be present beside the need of repentance before God. Regardless of how difficult it gets in the USA we must speck loudly for all to hear our cry for repentance.
God is not going to hold us accountable for the number of conversions, but we will be held accountable for not sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Remember we don’t teach the teachings of a man name Jesus, but we teach of what Jesus the God man did on the cross, on behalf of us and the world reconciling us to God.
So if we have been reconciled with God, meaning having peace with God, meaning living a life with God as His child. Then we will shout from the mountain tops and declare the Savior of the world to all the nations. Regardless of the consequence or danger! Regardless of being called every name in the book. We don’t have to excuse our self or apologize to the world of knowing the Savior of the world. Start shouting from a mountain top wishing that they would come to know our Lord and Savior, Our King and Prince!
So that we can be part of the cloud of witnesses of the unashamed!
“For whoever is ashamed of Me and my words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own Glory, and in His Father’s and of the holy angels.” Luke 9:26
I do hope 2009 will be a healthy and prosperous year in sharing your treasure which is your faith and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In His Passion,
Carlos and the rest of the La Roca team.

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 ?
