A few years ago, we stood at the brink of something bigger than our human lens could take in. God had placed us in a special neighborhood and placed in our hearts a vision to impact our little world with the love of Jesus.

In a short time and flurry of events, He’s accomplished a ministry called “The Bridge of Storm Lake” which includes neighborhood centers, English classes, food distribution and an after-school program.

We’d like to say we followed a clear process or that we had it all together or that we never wondered what in the world we were doing. In reality, God used us despite us.

We’ve watched as God united churches, called out His people to serve the least of these, gathered groups for prayer, and touched the hearts of many with salvation. And, we’ve been amazed.

May the desire to catch a glimpse of the heart of the Almighty be motivation enough to prompt us – and you – to let go, to listen and to respond in faith!

O Lord, you have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline your ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may cause terror no more.
Psalm 10:17-18

This is our cry. Think about it, this generation longs to be heard by God. We long for the day when poverty ends. When injustice is no more. When human trafficking does not exist. We want justice for the oppressed. And two thousand or so years ago who ever wrote this Psalm was crying out to God for the same thing: justice. So we ask God to make the wrong things write, but then He asks us to partner with Him to make the wrong things right.

So we do that. We feed the hungry, care for the orphan and the widow. We bring the Gospel into the dark places and minister to broken families. We become the the testimony of who God is. So my challenge for you is to be Jesus right where you are to the people who surround your life each day.

The Tijuana House of Prayer

It started out as a dream, and now its coming to reality since the day that God put it in our hearts at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City (IHOP-KC). Those days that we spent in that famous prayer room were really special in all ways, and that is when God put it in our hearts, Hey you need this in Tijuana.

And what is this we need in Tijuana?
A place were worship, prayer, intercession and fellowship never ends, kind of like heaven in earth. A place were you can’t feel time itself and it even feels that cease to exist. A place were the presence of God is burning your heart, and is so alive that you need to take your shoes off!!! The community, city and country itself being changed by the non stop intercession and prayer going on in the room. And we definitely need allot of this in my beautiful city of Tijuana.

So this is what we definitely need in Tijuana, a House of Prayer (HOP). Our goal is to do have it 24/7, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year a non stop worship and prayer, it may sound kind of ambitious but we are trying to bring a little bit of heaven to earth!!!

May be you are asking yourself, how can I be part of this?
First of all we need allot of prayer help, and we still need a lot of things for the HOP. If you need some more information on how you can be part of it, contact us directly at coitijuana@gmail.com or directly with Christ For the City International .
