Shepherd Behind Bars

2010/07/17

Ernesto is the prisoner/pastor in the Acapulco prison. He was a “hombre mall” before going to prison 10 years ago and coming to know Christ. He has served as a pastor the past 6 years and is facing another 40. Pray for his leadership and ministry. He is content with his ministry which is similar to that of any other pastor. When a man or woman (the prison’s population consists of 2300 men, 200 women and about 150 children who live with there mothers until they are 6 years old) says they want ti follow Christ, Ernesto has them go through a 6 or 7 month discipleship. The only time he appeared to be sad was when he said, “I have such a heavy load. If they are not grounded in God’s word before they leave, they will be back and not be able to lead their families in the way of the Lord.” -Please Pardon the Errors…Written On a Small Keyboard!

Consider Us This Christmas

Cross The Frontier is a small organization doing some big things and if God moves you to give to us, we will put that gift to good use. This coming year, we hope to do even more than last. Nobody gets a salary, here! We hope that one day we can support missionaries, but for now, just covering some of the expenses would be great.

For more information on how a one time or monthly gift could be used, please call us at 602.334.4839 or send us an email at Go@CrossTheFrontier.com or click on the PayPal button below to give online.

Gifts are tax deductible.

Hard Living Trip

Members needed (College and College-age groups). We have been given a piece of land near Trujillo Peru. It is nothing but bare rocks and sand right now, but you could be a part of changing that. Come this summer and be part of putting up a shelter and helping a community to make their land a productive oasis in the desert. You must be able to work hard and put up with a week of no showers and pit toilets. You will eat well and probably sleep well. We much prefer that a church or school send a complete team, but we will gladly talk to individuals about forming one.
