Ministerio Interfronterizo Presbiteriano                   

Rosario Gallegos of the Mexican church and Brenda Mays of the US church testify to the unity we have in Christ in the shadow of the dividing “wall” at Agua Prieta, MX and Douglas, AZ

Presbyterian Border Ministry (PBM) is a cooperative endeavor of the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico and the Presbyterian Church (USA). Its mission is to share the Gospel in Mexican cities along the 2,000 mile border with the United States: serving the needs of spirit, body, and mind in 7 Ministries with multiple sites stretching from the Gulf to the Pacific.

Ministries of evangelism and compassion are the fruit of a partnership between the Iglesia Nacional Presbiteriana de Mexico and the Presbyterian Church (USA). Since 1984, when the PCUSA responded to the invitation of the NPCM, the two sister churches have covenanted to bring the message of God to this uncommon international community, a region immersed in Mexican culture but dominated by the US economy, a locale of rich heritage and enormous potential, yet characterized by vast communities cobbled together from discarded scraps.

John Fife, pastor of Southside Presbyterian Church in Tucson, and Dr. Norma Price, a retired oncologist, are volunteers in a program that patrols the desert with food and water for illegal immigrants from Mexico.  It is also the final resting place of many who freeze to death high up in the mountains, said Fife, the pastor of Tucson’s Southside Presbyterian Church. Illegal immigrants are dying in record numbers along Arizona’s southern border areas, as Mexicans continue to cross into the United States in search of work.    For full story, click here
