The Border Church / La Iglesia Fronteriza

06/11/2026

Last Sunday, we reflected on a powerful truth from the Gospel: we are not called to build barriers or defend walls—we are called to set the table, making room for mercy, welcome, and belonging.

Again and again, Jesus met people in places marked by exclusion, suffering, and loss. He sat with those who were overlooked, brought healing where there was pain, and extended mercy where others drew lines. At the border, we witness this same truth: God has not abandoned this place. Christ is already here—present in every act of compassion, every hand extended in friendship, and every table where people gather in love and hope.

We were encouraged to choose mercy over division, welcome over exclusion, and the healing way of Jesus over the barriers that separate us.

Recent announcements indicated that Border Field State Park would once again be open to vehicles on Saturdays and Sundays. However, despite visits on both Saturday morning and Sunday before worship, the gate remained closed.

Thank you, Manuel, for your powerful words even as we were unable to enter, and thank you, Lee, for your companionship. We hope that next week we will once again be able to be close to our friends in Playas, continuing to nurture the relationships of friendship, solidarity, and community that connect us across the border.

Life is a gift, and every day is an opportunity to live with purpose.

This Sunday, through 1 Chronicles 29:14-15, we were reminded that we are only passing through this world. Our days are like a shadow—brief, yet precious in the eyes of God. Rather than filling our hearts with fear, this truth invites us to live with gratitude, wisdom, and intention.

When we remember that time is short, we learn to invest it in what truly matters: loving God, serving others, cultivating peace, and walking faithfully together as one community.

Lord, teach us to treasure the gift of each day and to live with wisdom, gratitude, and purpose. May our lives be marked by love for You and service to others, leaving a lasting witness of Your grace.

As we continue meeting each week on the Tijuana side, we carry hope in our hearts and look forward to the day we can be closer again to our friends on the San Diego side.

" LA EXPERIENCIA EN EL SERVICIO MIGRATORIO."

1ª. Crónicas 29
14. Porque ¿quién soy yo, y quién es mi pueblo, para que pudiésemos ofrecer voluntariamente cosas semejantes? Pues todo es tuyo, y de lo recibido de tu mano te damos. 15. Porque nosotros, extranjeros y advenedizos somos delante de ti, como todos nuestros padres; y nuestros días sobre la tierra, cual sombra que no dura.
1 Chronicles 29
14 For who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. 15 For we are strangers before you, and sojourners, as all our fathers were; our days on earth are like a shadow that does not abide.

En Whiskey 8, rodeados por muros de acero y alambre, nos reunimos para recordar una verdad que ninguna frontera puede dividir: Cristo está con nosotros.

Al reflexionar sobre Mateo 28:16-20, recordamos que Jesús encontró a sus discípulos tanto en su fe como en sus dudas. No esperó circunstancias perfectas para enviarlos con una misión de amor, reconciliación y esperanza.

En este Domingo de la Trinidad, reflexionamos sobre la unidad de Dios—Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo—un hermoso recordatorio de que el deseo de Dios no es la división, sino la unidad. En un lugar marcado por la separación, el temor y las relaciones heridas, proclamamos que el amor de Dios va más allá de cualquier muro y de cualquier frontera creada por el ser humano.

Mientras estábamos junto a la cerca, recordamos que el Espíritu Santo se mueve como el viento: libre, sin obstáculos y presente a ambos lados de la frontera. Cristo nos llama no solo a amar a nuestro prójimo, sino también a acompañarlo, defenderlo y caminar a su lado en tiempos de dificultad.

Tal vez hoy no podamos derribar todos los muros, pero sí podemos construir mesas de bienvenida, practicar la paz y elegir la solidaridad en lugar de la separación. La promesa de Jesús permanece: “Yo estoy con ustedes todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo.”

Que sigamos siendo personas que proclaman paz donde hay división, esperanza donde hay temor y amor donde existen barreras.

Damos gloria a Dios por la vida del Pastor Manuel, quien compartió fielmente la Palabra de Dios, nuestro pan de vida y fuente de esperanza. También agradecemos a Lee por ofrecer el don musical que Dios le ha dado, y a todas las personas que continúan acompañando, apoyando y permaneciendo junto a nuestros amigos y vecinos en la frontera.

Que Dios continúe fortaleciéndonos para ser personas de paz en un mundo dividido, para defender a nuestros vecinos, dar la bienvenida al extranjero y vivir la unidad y el amor revelados en el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo. Que sigamos a Cristo donde Él ya está obrando, llevando esperanza, sanidad y reconciliación más allá de todo muro y barrera.

At Whiskey 8, surrounded by walls of steel and wire, we gathered to remember a truth that no border can divide: Christ is with us.

Reflecting on Matthew 28:16-20, we were reminded that Jesus met his disciples in both their faith and their doubts. He did not wait for perfect circumstances before sending them out with a mission of love, reconciliation, and hope.

On Trinity Sunday, we reflected on the oneness of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—a beautiful reminder that God's desire is not division, but unity. In a place marked by separation, fear, and wounded relationships, we proclaim that God's love reaches beyond every wall and every human-made boundary.

As we stood at the fence, we were reminded that the Holy Spirit moves like the wind—free, unhindered, and present on both sides of the border. Christ calls us not only to love our neighbors, but to stand with them, defend them, and walk alongside them in times of struggle.

We may not be able to tear down every wall today, but we can build tables of welcome, practice peace, and choose solidarity over separation. Jesus' promise remains: "I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

May we continue to be people who speak peace where there is division, hope where there is fear, and love where there are barriers.

Glory to God for the life of Pastor Manuel, who faithfully shared God's Word—our daily bread and source of hope. We also give thanks for Lee, for offering his God-given gift of music, and for everyone who continues to show up, support, and stand alongside our friends and neighbors at the border.

May God continue to strengthen us to be people of peace in a divided world, to defend our neighbors, welcome the stranger, and live out the unity and love revealed through the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. May we follow Christ wherever He is already at work, bringing hope, healing, and reconciliation beyond every wall and barrier.

Acts 3:1-10
1. One day Peter and John were going up to the Temple at three in the afternoon, the hour of prayer. 2. Near the gate called Beautiful was a man who had been lame from birth, whom people left there every day to beg from those entering the Temple. 3. When he saw Peter and John about to go in, he asked them for alms. 4 Peter, looking intently at him with John, said,

“Look at us!”

5 The man looked at them intently, expecting to receive something.

6 “I have no silver or gold,” Peter declared, “but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”

7 Taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up, and immediately the man’s feet and ankles were strengthened. 8 He leaped to his feet and began to walk. Then he entered the Temple with them, leaping and praising God. 9. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging for alms by the Temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Hechos 3:1-10
1. Un día subían Pedro y Juan al Templo a las tres de la tarde, que es la hora de la oración. 2. Junto a la puerta llamada Hermosa había un hombre lisiado de nacimiento, al que todos los días dejaban allí para que pidiera limosna a los que entraban en el Templo. 3. Cuando este vio que Pedro y Juan estaban por entrar, les pidió limosna. 4 Pedro, con Juan, mirándolo fijamente, le dijo:
—¡Míranos!
5 El hombre fijó en ellos la mirada, esperando recibir algo.
6 —No tengo plata ni oro —declaró Pedro—, pero lo que tengo te doy. En el nombre de Jesucristo de Nazaret, ¡levántate y anda!
7 Y tomándolo por la mano derecha, lo levantó. Al instante los pies y los tobillos del hombre cobraron fuerza. 8. De un salto se puso en pie y comenzó a caminar. Luego entró con ellos en el Templo con sus propios pies, saltando y alabando a Dios. 9. Cuando todo el pueblo lo vio caminar y alabar a Dios, 10 lo reconocieron como el mismo hombre que acostumbraba a pedir limosna sentado junto a la puerta del Templo llamada Hermosa, entonces se llenaron de admiración y asombro por lo que le había ocurrido.
