Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book. It usually begins with

MISSIONARY
Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good.
Jaden Sobieski
MISSIONARY
The reason I became a Short-Term Missionary is not near as important as why I continue. While our purpose is to serve the people of Mexico, I am the one who is changed and filled with God’s love with every trip. I was once told that life should be lived with J.O.Y. Jesus, Others, You. In that order. Everything I do with By Our Love Missions helps me to live with J.O.Y. and to be joyful.
Peter Scott
MISSIONARY
Ministry quickly became a passion for me at a very young age. I enjoyed helping local homeless shelters when I was around 7 years old. That passion for helping the poor and needy kept growing. It soon extended from helping those locally, to helping those in 3rd world countries. I began connecting with ministries in Ecuador, as well as ministries in Mexico. My goal as a believer in Jesus is to live out Acts 20:24. To spread the good news of God’s grace, as well as love on people the way Jesus would love on them. Nosotros amamos porque él nos amó primero. 1 Juan 4:19
Gracie Garcia
MISSIONARY
Hey, I’m Gracie! I first went to Mexico on a small mission trip to Rivers of Mercy Orphanage in May 2019. I fully thought that I was going on that trip to show the kids there love and care, but instead I ended up feeling them loving and caring for me so much more! I quickly got pulled into wanting to spend all my free time with my newly made friends in Mexico and also wanting to display Christ through me. Places like Rivers of Mercy and Point Zero have been perfect opportunities to share Christ’s love to people who have not yet found their purpose in life. My continual prayer for my friends’ and my mission work in Mexico is to be a display of who Jesus is, what He has done, and to live out His perfect purpose for my life and also point others to the perfect purpose that Christ holds for their lives!
David Sears
MISSIONARY
Hi, my name is David. I am originally from Indianapolis. My journey to missions has taken a longer and more complicated journey than most. When I was a kid, I did not want to leave the comfort of the midwestern United States. I remember thinking what a good life I had in central Indiana. And it continued for many years, but then it changed. In 2019 I came to the Rivers of Mercy for the first time, and between the natural beauty of the mountains that surrounds us, and the hospitality of the children I knew that there was something special here. But I had come to show the kids the love of God that is bigger than what ever they had been through. They in turn show me everyday the love of God that is bigger than anything we can ever expect or even imagen. That is why I am here. That is why I am grateful to be a part of this team here.
