RESCUING GIRLS BEFORE THEY NEED RESCUING-SPECIAL EVENT

November 21, 2023
On Sept 22-23, one of our Board Members Mike Garland, along with his lovely wife Susanne traveled to join the Church in San Luis to support a very special event. Their trip and this event was funded by over $1,000 given by members from one of our Ministry Partners in Peoria, Arizona, Christ Bible Church.

The weekend's events were focused on Rescuing our youth from Sexual Abuses and Sex Trafficking… Before they need rescuing.

The idea was to bring awareness to girls 11-18, help them build community amongst themselves, and be able to discuss and address issues in their lives to prevent poor decisions, harmful experiences and traumatic outcomes. 

The format included Friday evening “Ladies Tea” where 22 girls from three different Churches, some of their mothers, and women from the Churches’ leadership were able to discuss difficult issues of being intimidated, feeling uncomfortable with older men or with men with influence over them, etc. That night many of the girls stayed in the dorms after the eye-opening and transparent conversations. 

Saturday commenced with a group breakfast for the girls, then a shopping trip where they each were able to buy new outfits for the special evening event. That afternoon they prepared themselves for a really nice catered dinner served to them in the community center where decorations, centerpieces and flowers were presented. Dinner was followed by a time of teaching, discussion and prayer. 

The teaching covered the power of Jesus in their lives, the issues of purity, teenage pregnancy, sex trafficking, immoral behavior, and their consequences. Perhaps more importantly, they were involved in talks about prevention and remedies, including education and association with believers in the Churches who are there to watch out for, protect and support them. 

At the end of the evening, the girls all chose to sign a pact with one another: choosing to follow Jesus’ plan for their lives, and to speak up and to speak out whenever there is any threat towards any one of them. They all left uplifted and empowered with knowledge, new connections and a much greater sense of security. 

We truly believe that this one event will be used to save one or more of these girls from harm and abuse, in Jesus’ name. Thank you to all that prayed for and supported this trip/event! Please join in supporting us for our next life changing outreach coming soon.

Additional note-  

This event was significant in that it also included two other Christian Churches. The pastors are being mentored by Pastor David and they were all part of the men’s group Friday evening. The guest Churches also had 12 of the 22 girls and one of their mothers involved. This added to the support networks for each Church. It also is part of the Church Mexico mission to provide support and training for like minded Churches in the area, not just the one Church in San Luis. 

Thank you for your prayers, connections and support. If you’d like to give additional financial support please visit our Support page.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple but profound mission: to lead others to saving faith in Jesus and help them grow in their relationship with Him. Discipleship begins with sharing the Good News, and through the Local Churches we support, this mission is woven into every ministry. Every outreach program we undertake, from building a Medical Clinic to evangelism on the soccer field, is a step toward this goal. Whether it’s training pastors to share the Gospel, equipping leaders to disciple youth, or creating safe spaces for vulnerable children, every ministry is designed to embody the spirit of lifestyle evangelism—being ready to share the Good News everywhere we go. The work of Church Mexico in 2024 reflects the power of being firmly rooted in faith. This year, we witnessed God’s transformative power across Northern Mexico through church planting, discipleship, and holistic community support. His harvest was plentiful, and the seeds you helped plant in previous years are flourishing into thriving ministries and transformed lives. Here’s what God accomplished through your prayers and support this year: The Launch of Cristo Vive in Ejido Pachuca: Under Pastor Juan’s leadership, a thriving new congregation is bringing hope to a once-overlooked community. Weekly Bible studies, small groups, and Sunday services have sparked spiritual renewal, with families finding salvation and lives transformed. Expansion of Rescuing Girls & Men of Valor: Through impactful events like “Baking, Boyfriends, and Boundaries” and “Hombres de Valor,” we equipped over 150 youth with tools to build Godly relationships, resist abuse, and embrace their identity in Christ. Completion of the San Luis Security Fence: This project has made our Discipleship Training Base a safe, welcoming haven for ministry, youth programs, and missionary teams, offering protection and peace for all who gather there. Construction of New Eye Exam Room and Supplying New Dental Clinic: With the help of U.S. medical professionals, we provided free healthcare to dozens of families, demonstrating the love of Christ in practical, life-changing ways. New Church Plants & Faith Leaders: O ur Biblical Relational Discipleship program continues to equip pastors and leaders in Baja California and Sonora, strengthening the foundation of each church we plant. Continued Education Access Vulnerable Youth: Programs like King’s Kids provide a safe space for children to learn, grow, and thrive. With your support, we supplied school sponsorships, educational materials, computer access, and mentorship that helped dozens of students succeed this year. These milestones remind us that every ministry matters, and every mile traveled brings us closer to spreading God’s Kingdom. Every ministry we run, every moment to share Christ’s word, and every church we plant represents a step of faith in God’s mission. But the work doesn’t stop with planting; it requires nurturing, tending, and watering to help these churches thrive. Your ongoing support enables us to reach even more communities, share the love of Christ, and plant churches that serve as beacons of hope. Together, we can grow His Kingdom in Northern Mexico and beyond. Will you join us in making an eternal difference? Be part of a mission rooted in faith and flourishing in Christ. Join us today as a recurring donor and make an eternal impact. With your prayers and partnership, we are confident that God will lead us to even greater victories in the year ahead. May you and your loved ones be blessed this holiday season and always. With heartfelt thanks and blessings, The Church Mexico Team

We are in the final stages of constructing a wall around our property to ensure the safety of everyone who steps onto our campus. This wall isn't just about protecting buildings and grounds; it's about safeguarding the children, families, and congregation members who visit us. With every service, community event, and outreach initiative, their safety is our top priority.
