Urgent Need! (Necesidad Urgente!)

Tijuana Mission TripLast year four women went to Tijuana, Mexico, on a WMU NC mission trip to serve with missionaries from North Carolina and other volunteers from Texas. This year, the missionaries are requesting help again. They are in urgent need of volunteers and supplies. The ministry has expanded from 10 sites to 17, and the number of volunteers confirmed to help is significantly less.

There are four ways YOU can help:

  • GO! Especially if you are able to speak even a little Spanish, you are needed. The most important thing, though, is to have God's heart for the children and families and to be willing to share that with them, whether with words or actions. Smiles and hugs speak volumes! The missionaries speak English and Spanish and will help non-Spanish speakers be able to do what needs to be done. The exact dates will be available soon, but we know it will be at the end of July/beginning of August.
  • GIVE! Supplies for the Bible schools are very much needed. Consider making a personal donation and/or asking your church, missions group or Sunday School class to contribute.
  • PRAY! God is able to provide abundantly for this ministry. Please pray for people to go and the materials needed to be supplied.
  • SEND! If you can't go, consider sending someone else or assisting them in covering the cost to go.

If you are interested in helping in any way, please contact Nora Castillo at 910.463.1221, 910-382-8897 or sol_dera@yahoo.com. You can make a difference!

The 2008 team saw many children and their mothers come to faith, but the need for Christ in Tijuana is overwhelming. Please do what you can!

Compelled by Love...

The Mission Crafters of Aversboro Road Church in Garner is a new Women on Mission group. The leader of the group, Nancy, had a vision to use her crafting abilities to reach out to families at home and abroad with God's love. The Mission Crafters are knitting baby items and donating part to an international organization and part to a local organization to distribute to families in need. These women are compelled by love!

Nominate a group/individual who is "Compelled by Love" in your community to be spotlighted here. Read more stories of women who daily express God's love here.
