After moving to Tijuana, Camila and her mother found support and motivation at Ejercito de Salvación to continue on. Camila, a five year old, once suffered from severe malnutrition but is now completely restored thanks to Outside the Bowl’s nutritious meals. And her mother’s broken spirit is now lifted because of the love and support found at Ejercito de Salvación. Their situation has changed so much, that she is even pursuing a college education to be able to provide a better tomorrow for her daughter Camila.

Fundación Fuerzas Especiales de Jesucristo
Fundación Fuerzas Especiales de Jesucristo (FEJ) is a very powerful all-male ministry group focused on reaching out with the message of Christ to the most vulnerable population; homeless, migrants, and people living in marginalized areas. They are a community group constituted from different churches, and their story moves from a God-given vision to action; from streets, to prison cells to the darkest places of the city.

Proudly South African
This week we are joyfully celebrating the completion of the George, South African Super Kitchen! This project has been a challenging one. We endured shipping delays, rain (LOTS of rain) and theft however, we stayed focused on God's provision through it all and couldn't be happier to see it finally finished!
Guest Post: Our Family Visit to Outside the Bowl
Last Saturday our family of four headed south of the border for Outside the Bowl’s first-ever family day trip. Our adventure started bright and early when we met up with 14 other families, loaded up on a comfortable coach bus, and began the 100 mile journey. Although we didn’t all know each other, we all had two things in common: we love Outside the Bowl and wanted to spend a day learning more about this ministry and sharing the experience with our kids.
