PROJECT
AMANECER (SUNRISE)
Goal 1: Form a 1,000 person prayer team to pray weekly for the people of
Juarez
(Join the Prayer Team)
Concerned Christians may sign up for weekly prayer need updates
concerning the situation in Juarez and the ministries of YLM. We ask that
each of the thousand people and churches who join this team dedicate time each
day to pray for the people of Juarez.
Goal 2: Distribute $900,000 worth of food, clothing, and other aid
(Help Us)
YLM
has long given out food, clothing and other relief to the poor in Juarez.
In past years, YLM has distributed between $600,000 to $1.2 million worth of
assistance, depending on what donations are delivered to us. This type of
help for thousands of people in Juarez is even more necessary as people suffer from loss of jobs and from
extortion. Many people are having to pay extortion fees that can be from
30-50% of their income.
Goal 3: Launch 20 small group Bible study groups in Juarez
(Help Us)
Members of San Pablo and Juarez mission churches are volunteering
to host small-group Bible studies in their homes in Juarez. YLM is
purchasing devotional, song, and prayer materials as resources and Bibles for these weekly
gatherings.
Goal 4: Provide increased missionary home visits and follow up to Juarez
residents
(Help Us)
Counseling and pastoral care is needed in Juarez' families. With every food basket and resource provided to the poor, our
missionaries will follow up with calls and visits, offering prayer and counsel.
Maps and brochures will be provided in each assistance distribution so that
families will know how to find a church and attend worship. There are
currently seven locations in and around Juarez where people can worship.
Goal 5: Launch an additional, new church and meal program in Juarez.
(Help Us)
A recent donation of property and buildings in Juarez, plus a
willing core group of helpers from the Juarez churches is enabling us to plant a
new church this year. On Wednesdays
