We are Missionary Candidates with YUGO Ministries out of San Dimas, California. We are currently raising support to begin
a construction ministry in Tijuana. We are leading a team from our church on a short term trip to Tijuana in August 2008. There will be
approximately 16 adults and 6 youth on the trip. Originally we had hoped this team would be able to begin the construction of our home
on YUGO's property in Tijuana. However, it is not in God's timing. We will be building a home for a local Mexican family. We are
praying that God will continue to guide us in raising the rest of our monthly financial need and that He will get us to Mexico soon!
