“Even though they’re entering the border, they’re also entering the Kingdom of God through this ministry.”

“We are here to strengthen local churches, encourage local pastors and provide support to the communities in need,”

Iglesia Bautista West Brownsville is serving immigrants along the border and sharing the hope found in Jesus. Read about their ministry and how they come alongside immigrants who have just arrived in America.

"We want to show the love of Christ in everything we do whether that be a medical consultation or any other form of service to our communities"
