On this page I hope to share resources that have helped me in my life and ministry in Tijuana.  I hope that these resources might also help you to have a better understanding of my context & that of my neighbors, so that you would better know how to pray & support us...

• Tijuana/Pedregal information: A brief collection of facts & statistics about Tijuana, as well as an overview of my neighborhood of Pedregal Santa Julia 3ra Seccion.

• "The Challenges of Colonias Populares in Tijuana": An excellent excerpt from the Blurred Borders chapter on Health & Human Services, which describes so well the challenges my neighbors face.  (yellow portions were especially helpful to me)

• Two charts that have been ABSOLUTELY INVALUABLE for me as a middle-class North American living & serving among Mexicans in generational poverty:
• Latino versus North American Culture
• Hidden Rules Among Classes

• Emotional Needs of Women on the Mission Field: An article by Ruth Ann Graybill that gives much insight into the emotional needs of both single and married women missionaries.
