From the Director
In February 2008, I was personally involved in an outreach to Ensenada, Mexico with a Christian organization that seeks to make a difference in the world through home-building trips. My heart has been wrecked ever since. No longer am I inward-focused; rather, I have been privileged to have been sensitized to the needs of the poor worldwide. Ever since that life-changing experience, my passion has been to expose as many others as possible to the overwhelming need in the northern Baja California region of Mexico. With that thought in mind, and having just entered my 50s, it was high time to make a difference for the Kingdom of God. For six years following, I committed myself to continuing this work. I left my job of 24 years and, in 2014, Walk the Talk Missions was born. We’ve hosted over 40 mission trips to Ensenada, Mexico, building homes for the vulnerable, spreading God’s word, and building friendships in the process.
Jesus states, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you have done for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you have done it for me.’ (Matthew 25:40) This is not just a request He is making. If you were to read this passage in its entire context, you would come to a greater understanding of its eternal consequences. Jesus, in the latter days, is basically sorting those as described above, the sheep, from those who have not served the poor and needy, the goats. The sheep will sit at His right hand in heaven. The goats, well…
This is why it is so vital to be involved in something. Not just in anything, but something that brings our Lord and Savior joy. Our short-term home building trips are about bringing stability, in a very tangible way, to one family at a time. I must warn you though – a Walk the Talk Mission trip is not just another construction trip. It will challenge you spiritually, emotionally, and relationally in a deep and long-term way.
Consider partnering with us…the life you change just may be your own!
