Across our southern border lies the beautiful Baja Peninsula of Mexico.  Surrounding the beauty, however, are plentiful opportunities for ministry in some of the neediest communities on earth. 

One such community, located in Ensenada, is called Maneadero. Our work there is shared with the Jackson Park Church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee. Together we support a full-time minister for this congregation, Alfredo Chavero.  Alfredo and his wife Carmen, along with their son Alfredo, Jr., began working with the Maneadero congregation during the time their former minister, Raymundo Inungaray, was being treated for leukemia. At Raymundo's passing, Alfredo became the regular minister. Not only is he ministering to the Maneadero congregation, but he continues a work he had started earlier among a group in Chapultepec. 

The slide show above contains pictures of the building our two congregations have built in Maneadero which seats about 150 people. We are in the process of completing an addition to provide a kitchen and classrooms.

Murrieta Church of Christ sponsors at least four annual, combined trips to the City of Children and Maneadero.  At Maneadero we attend Sunday services, provide lunch for the congregation and many neighbors, and provide food packages, clothing, blankets and other needed items to the congregation as well as to the community surrounding the church building.
