Cedar Lake Church & Bittersweet Ministries 2011: Tijuana, Mexico

Bittersweet Ministries is a faith-based, non-profit organization that believes in the value of creating cross-cultural relationships between the Mexican and American communities. Their work consists of organizing mission trips to Tijuana, Mexico which include building colorful homes, teaching English, Discipling Adults, and leading Bible schools for children. Support for a community daycare and child education includes food, utilities, supplies, school fees, uniforms and shoes and so much more. The Cedar Lake Church of the Brethren, Auburn, Indiana partners with Bittersweet Ministries by providing funds and willing volunteers to assist with and continue to build the community. Witness how families benefit from the dedication and devotion of Pastor Gilbert Romero, Montebello, California and "Sam" and Dan Trego, Lansing, Michigan (when not in Tijuana). Meet some of our new friends while sharing our talents and laying a solid foundation for the next family home.

  • Tijuana hillside - much of this land is built on or near a huge landfill used for decades, but now closed.  Many people made their "living" by sorting and reclaiming anything of value from the landfill.
