Urgent!! Church Renovation Needed for Youth
Our youth which consist of 30 or more are worshiping in the upstairs of the church building where its not yet finished, the roof leaks and raining season is coming soon! There is also not enough lighting and we need a girls bathroom! The cost to finish the upstairs is 10,000.00 dollars and have 2500 hundred already from Cristian Assembly of Los Angeles.
We are looking for help in the balance of $7500. Would you help us finish the upstairs so our youth can have a place of their own and also allow us to explain this ministry to the youth around us by allowing them to come and hang out, giving us the opportunity to reach out to them? We plan to have games, computers and a full time counselor. We already have 4 youth living there, so they would be closer to school, instead of coming from the ranch!
We have more waiting to finish the program, so they can enter school. This is a whole new ministry which is developing, how exciting and a praise report!! Pray and see how the Lord leads you in helping these youth break those chains forever! In His Passion, Carlos and Rossy
La Roca Church is Overflowing and We Need Your Help
Church Service
God is blessing us abundantly. After being able to secure our current building with an affordable lease we began refurbishing the bottom floor of our two story building. Opening day was more than we expected and since then God continues to bring new people and members. Now in less than six months we have max’ed-out our bottom floor ministry capacity and we need to refurbish our top floor. We desperately need space for youth meetings, Sunday School classes, and ministry meetings. Please, please consider helping us expand our top floor. Contact us as soon as you can to discuss what you can do. The people of Tijuana need Jesus and He is bringing them at a rapid pace. Please partner with us.
Opening Day for our new Church location
The opening of the new church location was a big success, we had 230 people show up, 80 more than usual for our first Sunday service. The place was beautiful thanks to my wife Rossy, and the many wonderful volunteers who worked long hours making sure everything was in the right place.
We had many new people from the community which was very exciting to see. This of course for us was a miracle with such a small church and many of our members coming from a lower class and workers from the dump community. We can only Praise God, for we have nothing to boast about! But only in Christ Jesus and the cross where He purchased us with His blood.

The “New” Church of La Roca Ministries – Opening Day
-
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 ?
