Azusa Pacific University entrusts a legacy to Baja Bound
Azusa Pacific University recently announced they will be endorsing the bulk of their student missions work in the Ensenada area to Baja Bound.
“This is really a big day for our organization. To be entrusted with such a long and storied relationship as APU has with Baja area, it really is overwhelming. We know APU groups have many strong relationships with local ministries and we can’t wait to leverage those partnership to further God’s Kingdom”.
John Rose - Director
In announcing the change to partner schools and churches, APU’s Associate Vice-President for Local and Global Engagement Matt Browning stated:
“For 25 years, Baja Bound has provided critical ministries to Mexico, including building houses and overseeing education programs, and the organization enjoys an excellent reputation. “
Plans are currently underway to to perfectly mirror the APU program with a new BAJA CAMPO program run by Baja Bound. Summer 2019 will have three “Baja Campo Weeks”.
Journey Church: Ten years of great service
Oh baby, just in time
Last weekend we arrived at the new worksite to discover a visibly pregnant mom anxiously waiting to move out of her shack and into her new home.
While dedicating the home on Sunday we all noticed mom was missing. Why? Dad proudly told us she was birthing her second child (daughter, perfect health) while we were dedicating their new home!
How wonderful that mom and child arrive back from hospital to a new home!
Helping the poor, helping the environment
We are pleased to collaborate with some forward thinking groups as we build homes in Baja. This week our group chose to bless their family with a solar system. This will save the family a lot of money, and help our planet. We are inspired by the many ways our groups creatively serve the poor and needy of Baja, Mexico.

Jan 2017 - The Greatness Foundation / Mike's Birthday!
They just keep coming back! I think they like us....or maybe they love the impact they're having on these precious and valuable people! This weekend was filled with cars so full of groceries for needy families we couldn't close the doors, sticky fingers from patching leaky roofs, dirty shoes from soccer, dirt stained cheeks from the tears of stories of hardship, splintered fingers and love. Did we mention is was The Greatness Foundation founders birthday!? Happy birthday Mike Sherbakov!
