La Roca Ministries reaches out to touch people’s lives that are devastated by poverty, neglect and despair. These people find themselves enslaved to drugs and alcohol and living in the streets of Tijuana, Mexico. Our desire is to mirror Christ’s compassion and concern to these people.

It has been said, “give a person a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a life.” We believed in “teaching people how to fish”. We want to see lives transformed and we believe that comes through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our program seeks to help rebuild lives by making disciples; raising up men, women and teens as future leaders and missionaries, and sending them forth to advance the Kingdom of God on earth.

Beginning of Life is involved in the following areas:

Raising awareness in the Evangelical churches. We organized around 20 seminars and trainings in churches, educating them how to work with their neighbors and relatives, preventing them from slavery. Each seminar hosted approximately 20-25 people.

Organizing National Day of Prayer. For two years the Beginning of Life team helped the Union of Evangelical Baptists Church in Moldova to organize a National Day of Prayer, combing efforts with the Moldavian Orthodox Church and Evangelical Lutheran Church in Moldova. Prayer events were organized in every church in Moldova, at the Central Square in Chisinau, in NGOs and private apartments.

The President of Beginning of Life was a part of a big press conference on the human trafficking issue.

Two programs about Beginning of Life were televised on different TV channels.

Organizing conferences. Beginning of Life organized a large national conference in 2006 on human trafficking. In September 2010 we hosted a pan-European conference on prostitution and human trafficking.

AWANA stands for "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed" as taken from 2 Timothy 2:15 of the Bible. Awana is fully integrated evangelism and discipleship programs for children ages 6 to 15 that actively involve parents, church leaders and mentors. At Awana, we believe that God has placed us strategically for such a time as this, to equip Christian leaders in Nepal to train children to know, love and serve Christ.

Established in 1999, the blessings and favor of God has opened many doors for Awana Club Nepal to be great blessings to the churches in Nepal. Each week around 38,374 kids and 5,021 leaders representing 1,246 Awana clubs take part over 48 districts of Nepal. Since there are few programs for evangelism and discipleship for Nepali children, Awana has created an exciting new model for ministry called Leader Based Strategy (LBS). This approach allows Awana to exponentially expand its ministry by focusing on training local churches leaders who can touch the lives of thousands of kids through the Awana program.
