Testimony in Tijuana; Springtime is HERE!

03/12/2026 by Sydney Lorenzana-Gomez
 

If you were with us back in 2023, you remember the time our beloved home faced an unimaginable loss. Our main building burned to the ground within a matter of minutes... Within those walls crumbled so many memories of life. 

 

This building held our church sanctuary, main offices, school classrooms, music rooms, and nursery, along with countless memories of gathering together, in learning, discipleship, and worship. 
It was the center and heartbeat of our entire ministry.

A temporary home

In the aftermath of the fire, we were able to setup a large tent in the center of campus to replace our beloved sanctuary. For the past three years, this tent has become a place of community, serving as our church hub–hosting daily devotions and worship services, as we've begun the journey to rebuild from the ashes.

 
 
The start of the new dream

And finally! After much prayer, fundraising, and many months of makeshift efforts, our new building has reached the first stages of rising from the dust.
We've begun the reconstruction of a new foundation! 

We are so thrilled to see this dream—once only an idea imagined in the midst of challenge and hope—becoming a physical reality right before our eyes. While the journey ahead is still long and much remains to be invested, it is truly happening. We are incredibly thankful for the faithfulness of our Father every step of the way.

You can see more details regarding the rebuild in the video here: 

 

We are so grateful for your investment in us—both through your prayers and through the practical ways you support us. Your part in our lives and in our story is one of the reasons we’re able to continue the work and impact happening here at The Mission. 

As we’ve often said, this place and this ministry is home to us. So this is not only a testimony of God’s goodness and faithfulness within the organization, but also in our own personal lives as we continue to build history here and look forward to building even more life here in the years to come.

And you get to be a part of this testimony with us.

Continuing to share in the testimony:

Your intentionality and your heart to bless us on this journey have meant more than you know! We have experienced so much of God’s glory in these early years of marriage, and we are still so expectant for all that is yet to come.
Your contributions within the past months have allowed us to purchase some key items we needed for our new home:
● A bed (mattress and frame)
● Chairs for our dining room table!

Our need continues to grow as we move forward in everyday life and as regular necessitie sarise. Things like home supplies, car maintenance, phone bills, groceries, and other day-to-day expenses all add up.
