Derek O'Connor | MEXICO 2025

Greetings!

    I'm excited to tell you about an amazing opportunity I'll be a part of this year, and I invite you to join me in making a difference together! I have been offered again to help Oak Pointe Church and 707 High School Ministry partner with Baja Bound to build homes with migrant families in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.

    Our goal is to bring the Gospel to the migrants in the Ensenada community while we build five homes for three families. These families often live in homes constructed with plywood and tarps. Through rigorous training, we'll visit with an understanding of local religious practices, as we share and uplift the name and teachings of Jesus Christ while helping create safer and healthier communities for the migrants in need.

    My first request is that you keep us in your prayers. I ask you to pray for God’s assistance and his protection over the entire team and trip. I ask that you pray over our flights, food, energy, health, any translation difficulties that may arise, but mostly, the health and safety of all involved.

    Additionally, I request that you consider partnering with me financially. I ask that, if possible, you would donate $25, $100, or more if you're feeling moved to do so, but of course, any sum is more than appreciated. God is a providing God, and he often uses the generosity of others to fulfill his plans. Thank you in advance for your donations, both prayerfully and financially.

    Feel free to reach out with any prayers, encouragement, questions, or concerns.

May He be with you,

- Derek
