As we arrived to visit Pastor Eddie in CC Home X, he welcomed us in and started to share with us his testimony. He told us all his highs and lows of growing up. Everything that led up to surrendering and living for Jesus Christ. He told us about his near death experiences living as a gang member, as a drug dealer, becoming a father, and being wrongfully imprisoned. This was over the course of many, many years of constant battles and hardship. The Lord always found a way to try to let him know that he was there for him through all of that.

Since then, Pastor Eddie has been teaching the young and old all about the Bible. He even does many other things in his community like visiting many people down at the dump. Calvary Chapel Homex they typically go down 2-3 times a week (sometimes more). Eddie gave us the privilege of leading us and introducing us to tons of our brothers and sisters living down there. The Lord led me to talk to Pascual, he told me that he’d been living there for a few years now and has wanted to attend church. Due to back, knee and hand mobility he has difficulty getting to and from places. He also told me that he knows about Jesus and has wanted to build more of a relationship, but also has trouble reading.

After going to midweek service and teachings throughout the week we were finally able to do another outreach! This time we decided to go to a park down in Rosarito! As soon as we got there we quickly set up our stations like face painting, nail painting, bracelet making, balloon art and a play! We spilt up in groups and went around the neighborhood telling everyone about the event we were hosting. Many of them came, but for lots of them we were able to share the gospel and pray for them.

I was able to talk to a few parents, kids and even hold this cute, chunky baby named Santiago. After some time I kept noticing this woman sitting alone in the distance. I prayed that the Holy Spirit would bless my evangelism and give me the words He wants me to use. As I went up to her, she was very sweet and told me that she was taking care of her niece and nephew. I asked her if I could practice telling her my testimony in Spanish since I’ve never done it before and wanted to practice. Through all the ‘uhh, umm, and huh’ I was able to share with her my experience. Before I left, we prayed. She continued to ask me questions so I stayed talking to her. She shared with me that she had been feeling depressed for a while now since she was lonely. I shared with her the good news, and asked if she had dedicated her life to Christ, she told me no, but that she would like too. I smiled, and walked her through Romans 10:9. I was extremely proud and happy for her, I prayed for her once again, made sure she had our church information and she went on her way. After that we decided to pack up and head back home.

I would just like to thank God for all those opportunities he allowed me to go through. All those people I was able to meet during the week and just on the streets. Thank you Jesus!

My name is Ariana Landaverde and I’m here in Rosarito, Mexico for the summer. I’m attending the Calvary School of Missions for the next 6 weeks. This school’s main focus is to help educate and help guide young people who feel a call to missions to understand that calling. I’m attending a school with classes from 9am all the way until 12. In the afternoons we are going out in the community to do different outreaches in partnership with local churches. We’re having worship nights, guest missionary speakers, and many other activities during the day.

Before leaving to Mexico, we all met in Orange County, California. My team and I received prayer from the missions sending church right before our journey. This was such a moving and beautiful experience. You can truly feel the Holy Spirit move!

I came here to learn more about Jesus. Not just know about Him but to know and have a relationship with Him. To fully surrender myself to live out His will in my life! This was the first lesson that was taught! To be like a blank sheet of paper, ready for knowledge, ready to receive His word.

 Having this time to truly spend time with God is a blessing and an answered prayer!
