The New Dump – A Ministry Opportunity
Greetings; For all those who have a heart for the working poor, here is an update on the new dump site. It is miles from the old location and it’s miles of dirt roads which is too far for anyone to walk. It takes more than one hour to get there and those who use to work at the old dump site now have to take shuttles to reach this new dump. Because of the distance many have to eat what they find, not having the comfort of home being close by.
There are from five to three hundred people working at one time. Many, because of the distance, have to bring their children with them. They build small shelters which protect them from the sun as the adults work. Very few live there because of the distances from the city and stores, there are no schools and their children stay in the shelters build by the parents with out much to do!
We here at La Roca, would like to build and establish facilities to open up a daycare and medical care for then. This will also include good clean drinking water and some food and most important schooling while they wait for their parents.
Would you please consider helping us in this great need? At this present time, there is nobody or organization helping because of the great distance. La Roca could be the first to take this challenge to heart and make a difference in many people’s lives. In His Passion, Carlos and Rossy Montoya

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 Cody Spaeth. I am 17 years old, I came down to mexico for the first time when I was 9 and have been coming down ever since. People ask me why I do it, why I give up my time and summers just to possibly make a difference. I have one response- have you ever been in a prayer meeting where you cant even hear your voice over the others, where you cant help but fall on your knees, have you ever been so moved tears start streaming down your face, have you ever endured something that you never thought was possible? That because it was impossible for you but not for your God. This world isnt about us or what we can do- its all about what God can do for and through us. La Roca is more than a church, or a ministry, its God living through each of the kids at the House of Grace and men at the Ranch. Its in the youth who consume the bible like others consume facebook. -
My name is Amanda and I am 25 years old. I lived in Mexico from January of 2009 to August of 2011. It was an amazing experience working with the people there. I helped out with administration, ran various errands, was on the worship team, picked up donations, led groups and did anything/everything that needed to be done. It was so awesome to see God working everyday. Though I have moved back to Sacramento I continue to make trips down to Mexico every other month or so. The ministry has helped me grow spiritually and become more confident in who I am as a Christian. I plan on returning to Tijuana to serve whenever possible. It's an awesome ministry and I plan to always be a part of it.
