My husband and I took a team of 7 from our youth ministry down to Ensenada from our church. The experience was life changing for everyone involved! I loved that there were so many numerous areas of ministry we were able to be involved in, in just 5 short days. Everyone had the opportunity to step out in faith and do something they had never done before. It was exciting to get to see the youth lead people to Christ and take risks. We will definitely be going back.... and the food was incredible! Thanks to Richard and his team for making our mission trip an unforgettable, life changing experience!

Dios te Bendiga. We just came back from a wonderful time with Cindy, Richard, Johnny, Dina, Fernando at the Victory Baja mission house. I was impacted with the gratitude of the people we ministered to as we gave food to them at the dump. I preached there also and saw men and women come up for prayer for salvation and healing, then just before we left we put tarps on the shanti houses where 150 people live right there in the midst of dirt and garbage and yet on one of the 7x7 houses, I saw a flag placed proudly it seemed. I also enjoyed taking pictures of the Mexican people. As i was about to take a picture of these two young girls at the dump, they fixed their hair and gave me a big smile as i took their pic. and laughed as i showed them their picture afterwards. I was deeply touched when we walked to the end of the dump with hot dogs and fruit where people were working on mounds of garbage. They didn't stop to come to us so we went to them. They stopped for one moment and came down to take the food and said gracias, some nodded with a stoic look on their faces. You just have to see it, take it in, release the life of Christ as we are His hands and feet in this world. Thank you Jesus for all the miracles, healings, salvation and life changing ministry and to Richard and Cindy for being great hosts and for being so efficient in every mission we went on. I loved my time there! :)

Dios te bendiga!!!!! What an amazing experience to be there with you at the "bonita" Victory House Baja. Our youth shared their exciting testimonies when we returned home and everyone was so blessed to hear about the many salvations and lives that were impacted. Going door to door ,connecting with people and inviting them to the fiesta was sheer awesomeness!!!I've never been walking down the road and come face to face with a "free roaming" rooster before!The people were so friendly,one man offering lemons from his tree...and those lemons were the best ever:) What a blessing to be a part the great vision and call on your lives. We are praying for you as you continue your journey of love!!!! PS (Say Ola to Johnny,Fernando,Eduardo and his family for us por favor) Muchas gracias buen amigos!

The time Barrie Victory Center spent at the Mission House in Baja was amazing. We all grew mentally, physically, and especially spiritually. Richard and Cindy are awesome people, and we were so blessed while staying with them. We went to both male and female Rehabilitation Centers, we went to the Tijuana Dump, and we participated in several other life changing ministries. Cindy is an EXCEPTIONAL cook! The food was awesome! Our time in Mexico was definately a life changing experience. I encourage everyone reading this to GO! THE TIME IS NOW. You will NOT regret it! Thanks again Richard and Cindy for everything you guys did for us during our stay in Baja. We'll be back soon!
