Zona Norte

Literally, it means 'The North Zone,' or the part of Tijuana right up next to the border.  What you'll find there - homeless, prostitutes, street kids, drug addicts...

...and YWAM.


For over a year YWAM has had a consistent presence in this area of Tijuana.  On Wednesdays, we set up a mobile soup kitchen at a city park where many homeless and drug addicts live.  We provide a meal, share the Gospel in creative ways, and always finish with a time of prayer.

Often we'll walk through the area, praying for the people we see and against the evil that has a hold in this area of town.

On Mondays, we go to a different park in the same neighborhood.  We play games with the kids, teach them Bible stories, and do arts and crafts.

Something we have been doing for the last few weeks is prophesying over one kid per week.  We ask God how He would like to encourage that child, and then share with them.  There have been some incredible talks with those kids as we speak God's truth over their lives.  There are visible changes in them when they come back the next week - they know we're on their side and care for them.  Some of these kids are children of the prostitutes or sex workers that we minister to on Wednesdays.  Our heart is to reach the whole family with the love of Christ.
