Dear friends,
During our 40th Anniversary celebration six months ago, we took time not just to remember and reflect upon our past, but to also marvel and delight at God’s faithfulness in how truly energized we are in this moment of ministry. We are full of fresh vision and vitality for a future of faith to do God’s will of building bridges and not walls in the borderlands.
Since our celebration, though, the last few months and recent weeks have been disheartening in relation to our longstanding partnership with PCUSA World Mission. Their announcement of closing the World Mission agency and severing all Mission Co-workers' service with their partners, including Mark and Miriam’s service as Mission Co-Workers with us, brings us great pain; and yet, we as a board, together with Mark and Miriam, continue to share a strong sense of renewed call to build relationships of understanding across borders.
As we seek to be faithful to God’s call upon our ministry in a time of great uncertainty, we will continue to discern how God might make a way forward for Mark and Miriam’s service alongside Frontera de Cristo. They have committed to volunteering with us through the end of the year, which will give us time to develop and implement a financial plan for 2026 that will allow us to sustain their continue service with us into the future. More information about a capital campaign will be coming soon.
We are grateful for your continued prayers and support!
In Christ’s grace and peace-
The Frontera de Cristo Board of Directors
