Hello, dear friends and supporters! There is a lot happening here at Bakers at the Border as summer begins to wind down.

Just like families in the U.S., back-to-school season is here for us too. Alejandro heads back to school this coming Monday, and he is excited to begin at a new school with a new teacher. We are thankful for this fresh start and would truly appreciate your prayers—that he would have a successful, productive year, build good friendships, and continue to grow in confidence and wisdom.

We also want to share an encouraging update from Grace Church Rosarito. Grace Church is a growing group of Jesus followers who want others to know more about Jesus and His Word, the Bible. We worship through interactive study, music, and simply spending time together as we learn what it means to love God and love others.

We are slowly settling into our new home, and it has been a joy to see this community taking shape. As summer wraps up and routines return, we are looking forward to seeing our Sunday gatherings continue to grow. Please pray that people in Rosarito who are searching for hope, community, and truth would find a welcoming place at Grace Church.

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 NIV

Would you join us in praying for Alejandro’s school year and for continued growth at Grace Church Rosarito? Thank you for standing with us, encouraging us, and being part of what God is doing at the border.

Hello dear friends and supporters—thank you for walking with us.

We’ve just returned from a much‑needed holiday in southern Mexico, and it turned out to be more than just a break for our family. Somewhere between the long walks, quiet moments, and laughter with Mindy and Alejandro, I found myself asking the Lord, “What do You want from us in this next season, now that we’ve caught our breath a little?”

As we listened, one of the first things He pressed on my heart was simple but humbling: get moving and take better care of myself and Mindy. Ministry is a marathon, not a sprint, and we sensed God reminding us that our health matters if we’re going to keep showing up for the long haul.

He also nudged me about my coaching certification. I didn’t realize He cared about something that felt so “professional,” but I’m beginning to believe He has a plan for it. I’d love to start offering coaching to anyone following our journey—both to serve you and to log some hours toward my accreditation.

We also felt Him urging us to keep investing in the pastors and servants already in our circle through counseling and development tools. Since coming home, I’ve stepped into establishing Elders and Deacons at Grace Church and building better systems there. I thought I’d wait longer, but it became clear God wanted that moved up.

There’s also a deep ache in our hearts: we need more Mexicans in our lives. It’s easy to stay in an American bubble in our expat church community, but we know He’s called us to a truly bilingual Spanish/English church and to prepare for planting another Spanish‑speaking church soon. He’s bringing people; we’re praying for growth, especially new gatherers—and we just love Mexicans.

Finally, Mindy and I have been praying about offering workshops in local churches on spiritual warfare and trauma healing. Talking it through with our friends Mario and Silvia after we returned only confirmed that this is a direction God is pointing us later this year.

If anything God spoke to us on this trip stirs something in you—about health, coaching, leadership, bilingual ministry, or deeper healing—please reach out and connect with us here on social media. We’d love to walk alongside you, pray with you, or simply listen to what God is doing in your life.

This vacation to southern Mexico wasn’t just rest; it was a reset. We came back grateful, a little sobered by the weight of what’s ahead, but deeply hopeful. Thank you for praying for us, loving our family, and walking this road with us at Bakers at the Border.

Hello, friends!

It's been a busy and blessed season here at Bakers at the Border, and we wanted to take a moment to share what's on our hearts.

Alejandro just completed 3rd grade and we are thankful for the many things he has learned and ways he has grown. We are looking forward to 4th grade at a new school in hopes that it will be a better fit and a brighter experience for him.

Mindy will also be stepping back for a season of rest and to focus on family. That drive from Rosarito Beach to San Diego multiple times a week, on top of her work responsibilities, home life, and ministry duties, has been a lot to carry. For the foreseeable future, she'll be focusing on rest and recovery — and we know she's earned it. She is very blessed to work for the Glenner Centers, who has allowed her to maintain her position as Director of Education and have the time off she needs.

As for me, work continues to go and grow like gangbusters. I count it such a blessing to do what I love from a home office a couple thousand miles away, while staying connected to this ministry that means so much to us.

And finally — what a gift it was to host our brother, Pastor Martín Guerena, executive director of Vision Latin America! He spent time with us planning joint projects between Bakers at the Border and Vision Latin America. We can't wait to share more as those plans take shape.

Would you join us in prayer? For Alejandro as he transitions to his new school, for Mindy as she rests and recharges, and for the exciting things ahead with Pastor Martín and Vision Latin America.

"Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9

Thank you for walking alongside us and for your continued love and support.

It's been a busy season south of the border, and we can't wait to share all that God has been doing this summer in the weeks ahead. But first and foremost on our hearts today is our sister Gabby.

Gabby is the wife of our dear brother Ruben, who went to be with the Lord two years ago. Since Ruben's passing, she has faced some heavy challenges — and by God's grace, she has weathered many of them and come out stronger on the other side.

Right now, Gabby is walking through some difficult health issues, including a painful bout with shingles. We're asking our Bakers at the Border family to lift her up in prayer — for physical healing, for comfort, and for God's continued blessing and guidance as she keeps navigating life without Ruben by her side.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18 (NIV)

Would you take a moment right now to pray for Gabby? Your prayers matter, and we believe God hears every one of them. Thank you for standing with us and with her.

Where does ministry actually happen?

Not just inside church buildings… and you don't have to cross a border to be part of what God is doing.

We've seen it in the most ordinary places:
🌳 At the park
🏘️ Around the neighborhood
🛒 In the aisles of our local Calimax grocery store
🌮 At the taco stand
🍽️ Sitting around kitchen tables
💬 In everyday conversations that quietly turn into something sacred

These are the moments when a safe space is created — someone listens, someone prays, someone simply shows up with God's love… and a heart opens. A struggle gets shared. Heaven leans in.

Here's the truth: He's already placed YOU somewhere on purpose.
✨ Your neighborhood.
✨ Your circle.
✨ Your table.

So we want to ask you:
👉 Where have you seen God move in your everyday life?
👉 Where might He be inviting you to step in?

You don't need a passport. You don't need a title. You don't need a stage. You just need a willing heart and the courage to be present where you already are.

You can do this too — right where you are. 💛

Need a little help learning how? We'd love to walk alongside you. Send us a message — we're here for it.

**Bakers at the Border – Standing with Cuba**

As we continue to lock arms with our brothers and sisters at Vision Latin America, we ask you to lift up Cuba in prayer. Here's what's happening on the ground right now:

Cuba's national electrical grid is growing more unstable by the day. Prolonged scheduled and unscheduled power outages are hitting the country daily — Havana included. These blackouts are disrupting water supply, lighting, refrigeration, and communication, leaving families without the basics so many of us take for granted. On top of that, a serious fuel shortage is choking transportation and creating long, exhausting lines at gas stations across the island.

On May 13, 2026, reports came in of widespread protests throughout Havana as citizens cried out over the relentless blackouts. While these demonstrations have not been directed at the U.S. or American citizens, accounts indicate that some have been met with aggressive police repression against Cuban protestors.

Please join us in praying:

- For protection over the Cuban people, especially the many believers walking out their faith in the middle of hardship
- For God's provision — light, water, food, fuel, and peace — for families in need
- For wisdom and courage for pastors and churches serving their communities
- That the Lord would continue to lead His people and reveal Himself as Provider and Sustainer
- For peaceful resolution and restraint in the streets

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." — Psalm 23:1

Cuba is not forgotten. Heaven hears every cry, and the Church is rising. Thank you for standing with us, with Vision Latin America, and with the beautiful people of Cuba. Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep going.

¡Feliz Día de las Madres!

In Mexico, Mother's Day always falls on May 10 — and let us tell you, it is a BIG deal. Across the country, moms are celebrated, spoiled, and appreciated to the highest degree. As it should be.

This past Sunday, we got to witness it firsthand in El Zorrillo, not far from Rosarito Beach. Our dear friends Mario and Silvia, along with the family at Iglesia Monte de Jehová, threw a beautiful celebration honoring the mamás of their community — with games, laughter, gifts, and (our personal favorite part) the men of the church rolling up their sleeves to cook fish tacos for everyone. The mothers got to sit, relax, and be served — exactly the way it should be on their special day.

There is something so powerful about watching a community pour love into the women who hold everything together. The mothers. The grandmothers. The aunties. The spiritual moms. The ones who feed us, pray for us, and carry us when we can't carry ourselves.

To every mom in El Zorrillo, in Rosarito, in Hilliard, Dublin, and everywhere in between — thank you. We see you. We celebrate you. We are grateful for you.

And a huge thank you to Mario, Silvia, and the Iglesia Monte de Jehová family for letting Bakers at the Border be part of such a joyful day. Days like this remind us why we do what we do.

🌊 Meet Mario & Silvia Lopez.

Just south of Ensenada, Mexico, something beautiful is happening — and most people will never see it on the news or in a highlight reel. But we have, and we love talking about it.

Mario and Silvia have been faithfully serving their community for years. Not for recognition. Not for applause. Simply because God called them — and they said yes.

They know their people the way only a neighbor can. They carry their community in prayer. They show up again and again, even when it's hard. And they develop other leaders with a quiet excellence that honestly puts the rest of us to shame. 😊

Our little team — Bakers at the Border — has had the profound privilege of walking alongside Mario and Silvia in their ministry for over 15 years. What we've witnessed is hard to put into words. Hope taking root. Lives changing. A community being loved well, from the inside out.

This is what the Kingdom looks like. Not always loud. Not always visible. But faithful. Consistent. Beautiful.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
— Galatians 6:9 NIV

Would you take a moment right now to pray for them?

🙏 For strength.
🙏 For wisdom.
🙏 For continued courage to keep going.

God is moving through local leaders like Mario and Silvia — and we are so honored to call them friends.

🙏 A Ministry Update from Bakers at the Border 🙏

A little over a year ago, we introduced you to Victor and Juana in Puebla, Mexico — faithful servants launching their 4th community group and sustaining their ministry through a small handcrafted apron business. Their beautiful creations fund both their family and their efforts to bring the hope of Christ to an area that desperately needs it.

At that time, their equipment was failing and material costs were skyrocketing. Because of God's grace and YOUR generosity, they were able to replace their sewing machine and keep their outreach going. Thank you. 🧵❤️

Fast forward to today — Victor and Juana are pressing forward in incredible ways! They are actively working to plant a church in Taxco AND nurturing a home church in San Pedro de la Jolla. God is moving!

But they need our help again.

Victor is in desperate need of a vehicle. Without one — and unable to use taxis — he simply cannot get to the various groups and churches he serves. He's missing services and the people who depend on him.

And while working to save for a car, Juana was involved in an accident and was injured. 💔

Bakers at the Border has made a significant donation toward their needs — but the gap remains. If you feel led to give, every dollar goes directly to supporting Victor, Juana, and the communities they serve.

Thank you for standing with our friends in Christ.
