Support the ministry
Your gift carries hope to Ensenada
At Ensenada Ministries, we fulfill our calling daily by serving families, welcoming mission teams, and sharing hope through practical initiatives that strengthen the Ensenada community. Your support directly sustains this impactful work.
Thank you for your interest in supporting the ministry. Every gift, large or small, becomes a warm meal, a delivery of medicine, a lesson about Jesus, or a place of worship in a place of hardship.
This is not a young ministry with an unproven plan. For 26 years, Ensenada Ministries has served the city of Ensenada and the surrounding communities, partnering with hundreds of mission teams at Rancho El Refugio along the way. That track record means your gift is put to work in programs with deep roots: meals that have fed children for decades, a church home at the women's prison that is already complete and already gathering women to worship, relationships at rehabilitation centers that have walked people toward new life, and harvest-season visits to migrant farmworker camps. When you give, you are sustaining work that has been proving itself for a generation, and there are families in Ensenada right now who will feel the difference.

The impact of your gift
Twenty-six years of ministry, made possible by givers
Giving is not a transaction with a faraway charity. It is how the work in Ensenada has been sustained, season after season, since 2000. Here is what your generosity is part of:
- 26
- Years serving Ensenada and the communities around it
- 100s
- Mission teams welcomed at Rancho El Refugio since 2000
- 3,400
- Campers at our first gathering, the trip that started the love for Mexico
- 1
- Church home built inside the women's prison, open and gathering today
Your gift feeds children through Feeding the Kids, where warm meals pair with lessons about Jesus. It puts groceries in the hands of families who feel they have no hope. It becomes a box of medical supplies delivered with prayer to a family or clinic that could not afford it. It keeps mission teams visiting the women's prison, keeps volunteers walking alongside men and women in recovery at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, and keeps the church showing up at migrant farmworker camps through every harvest season.
Spectacular as those numbers are, the real measure of this work is quieter: a child who learns that God loves them, a woman at the prison who hears there is hope, a family in a camp who learns they are not forgotten. Every one of those moments begins with a giver who said yes. Your yes, today, becomes one of those moments on the ground in Ensenada.
