Walnut Street has been going to Tijuana Christian Mission for over 4 years now. While there we have watched the orphanage develop from a small community to a larger outreach. We have helped build a third floor on the boy's dorm, brought running water to a friend's house, helped with construction on another house and even cleaned and painted a local church. But we've done so much more than work! While there, we also put on a Vacation Bible School for the children who live in the city dump, not to mention pour out God's love for them and the children at the orphanage. Every year we go down there to "help", we're the ones who are changed. It's easy to see God in action in Tijuana. Mission trips are every summer. Come and have a change of heart!

This summer (June 7-21) we will be going to the same orphanage, but in a new exciting place. Located just outside of Tijuana, the new orphanage, Casa hogar (Loosely translated as house home) is located within sight of the mountains and the ocean. It has a soccer field, new dorms, and all the space the kids could want to run around in. Our work project this summer includes building a house for someone in the city dump. Many of the houses there are constructed on the sides of a hill built mainly of trash, so the houses are in danger of sliding down the hill. We need to raise only $4700 to bring a family a safe house, and new hope. Also, we hope to continue the tradition of doing a Vacation Bible School for the children who live in the dump. We'll finish up the day at the orphanage, playing with and just showing God's love to all the children who live there.
