MissionWe are primarily a children's home, but our mission includes so much more than that. We are a center for many activities. Our goal and vision is to always serve the children, the poor and the forgotten elderly with weekly care boxes. We provide housing for 70 children and 15 staff. Our home includes five, two story buildings, including a chapel, boys and girls dormitories, a computer center, cafeteria, staff quarters, library, toddlers room, homework room and sitting rooms. Mission HistoryTijuana Christian Mission started in 1965 as a church plant in Tijuana, Mexico. At the request of a church in the San Diego area, Sergio and Martha Gomez moved from further south in Mexico to serve as pastors of a church plant. It soon became apparent that there was a need for a children's home in the neighborhood in which they were living. Before the opening of the children's home, the Gomez family would often have ten or more extra children staying in their home. In many instances these were children of prostitues or of families who worked as scavengers in the city dump. Regardless of the childrens' background, without the help that Martha and Sergio offered them, the children would have been locked in their homes for hours at a time while their mothers went out searching for a way to feed their family. After opening their own home and hearts for several years, Martha and Sergio were able to open City of Refuge Children's Home in 1972. Since that time, City of Refuge has truly been a refuge for the children of Tijuana. In 2006, we opened the doors of Hacienda Victoria, a second children's home located on 7 acres of land just south of Rosarito. Now we are able to house and help even more children from even more cities in Mexico. At this time, we have more than 100 children living with us, but as we continue to add more dormitiories in Rosarito, we will be able to help up to 400 children between our two campuses!

Daily Scripture Verse“[Psalm 18] For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. He sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love you, LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” - Psalm 18:1-2
