La Roca Ranch Ministry Transportation Needs
"Last Leg" Water truck
The La Roca Ranch has an urgent need for two vehicles. The current water tanker truck (see picture) needs replaced as it is on its last leg. It has rolled several times and is barely holding together. We would like a 1-1/2-2 ton dually pickup … typical 4500 series vehicle. This vehicle make many steep hill climbs several times a day hauling water to the discipleship ministry at the Ranch. If you have any possible vehicle that might fit this need please send a contact request HERE.
The second vehicle need is for a pickup or small SUV to take the Ranch kids to school each day. This is approximately a 20 mile round trip. An economical vehicle is needed to save the wear and tear on the larger vehicles and to save on gasoline. Please consider helping with this transportation for the kids. Currently, there are six staff kids that are being taken daily to school from the Ranch. If you can help please Contact Us.
The La Roca Ranch is a rehabilitation and discipleship Ranch for men of all ages. The program is for one year and seeks to change the lives of men so that they are socially responsible and spiritually strong.
House of Grace “Sponsor-A-Child”
Our God is such an awesome God. And He has blessed us so much this year. The “House of Grace” There we have mothers with children and abandoned children. Currently, we have 18 children ranging from 2 ½ weeks old to 12 years old. In the past 4 months 3 beautiful baby boys have been born into the house. Its fun to see the different personalities of all the kids, especially the younger ones.

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 ?
