Ensenada Outreach Center - YUGO

God Is Good!

The fire is out. No loss of life! The community is reaching out.
One thing for sure, lives will be forever changed. Praise God!

Wednesday October 24th I placed a call to Valley Springs Presbyterian Church (from Roseville, California); as they were sending down a scouting team Friday October 26th. They immediatly responded in pledging $1,000 for relief efforts (which they brought down Friday), as they would take an offering at their next Sunday service.

It is Awesome to see how God is using this opportunity to work in the lives of so many. As well, there are multiple local churches responding.

Stay tuned for an additional update (with video) from the Valley Springs visit.

ps. Our friends at Hands of Mercy were also spared, and one of their local pastor's (Manuel) visited with church members and cleaned up the Kitchen & Dining area.

How great when the Body is working together!

Ensenada Outreach Center (E.O.C.) is a missions organization of YUGO Ministries. We desire to share the love of God with those around us. We long to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the needy, broken, and poor of Mexico. We strive to live in community and love as we seek to serve Him.

We partner with teams, churches, and ministries from across the United States and Canada and connect them with local Mexican churches and pastors. As North Americans, we can offer our resources, willing hands & hearts and partner with the local pastors to help care for the poor of Mexico. We do this through building homes, running feeding programs & clothing distribution, providing emergency/crisis aid, and organizing children's programs and sport camps. Each bringing out transforming moments - both in those being served and in the lives of the team members serving.

E.O.C. is located 4 miles south of Ensenada in the sleepy little pueblo of Chapultepec. It is a safe, enclosed campus within walking distance of the local beaches. In general, the community is clean and rich in Mexican culture. Ensenada is situated along the west coast of Baja California, Mexico, approximately 60 miles south of the border.

We would love to partner with you as we work towards being one body, one community, sharing the love and mercy of Jesus to everyone around us.

Please take some time to explore our blog, watch some videos, or contact us if you have any questions.

Dios Les Bendiga,

We'd love to hear from you or answer any questions you may have about the ministry here at the Ensenada Outreach Center.

This past Sunday Ensenada was hit with the same strong winds as San Diego & Los Angeles.
And like those cities, Ensenada continues to be effected.
We are continuing to visit communities, meet with families and community leaders, assess the greatest needs and pray for direction as we give God the thanks for protecting so many lives!

Unfortunately Ensenada lacks adequate resources to respond to disastrous situations. We are doing our best to connect people & resources together in the loving Spirit of Jesus.

If you would like to help, Pray! Send $ to YUGO Ministries [PO Box 25 San Dimas, Ca 91773] EOC General Fund (in the memo), check back for a coming list of needed supplies.
Currently needed: water, blankets, tarps, food, medicine, clothing!

Please be praying for our friends at the Hands of Mercy Ranch (45 min southeast from EOC), the strong winds this past weekend destroyed their kitchen & dining facility. As well, their property is in the potential line of the Ensenada fire. (at the time of this post, approx 4 miles away)

These are close fiends & co-workers (we are all on the same mission!) and we love them dearly. Their leadership are all at a training conference in North Carolina.

You may notice in the photos that the camp is in a clearing; although the full-time missionary families homes are down in the wooded areas. [VanNess & McCoy families]

Check out Kimyco's blog www.khudspeth.blogspot.com to see an update on remodeling activity at the Outreach Center (as well as other exciting announcements). Mardy Barnes has already completed three rooms (the goal is to have six guest rooms completed before Spring 2008).

Additionally, Jeremy Gonzalez has started the demolition effort for the kitchen expansion (removing a rarely used 1/2 bathroom & closet, thereby increasing the usable kitchen space).

All these changes are part of a multi-year effort to replace old (musty) carpets, worn out ceiling fans, repaint walls, etc. As the Staff @ EOC, we strive to be excellent stewards of God's Ministry (this includes His property).

One of the benefits of this beautification process is the ability to continue opening up the center for local retreats, conferences & events. Local Churches & Pastors have limited access to low-cost facilities for their events. We are able to open up our doors at NO-COST! Thanks to your participation in the ministry.

Blessings from the staff of EOC.
