City Rise Brigade: June 2025 Newsletter

BRINGING HOPE THROUGH FAITH & HEALING

This year’s brigade in the Santa Ana community and surrounding areas was a powerful testimony of what happens when faith and service come together. Through the years, our fellowship with City Rise Church has been impactful. This year was different, our foundation experienced firsthand the joy of bringing both the love of Jesus and essential healthcare to families in need.

HEALTHCARE

Thanks to our dedicated medical volunteers, specialized in family, pediatrics, acupunture and neurology, and the resources provided, we were able to care for 311 patients in our main clinic and an additional 240 through our mobile clinic, reaching a total of 551 people with quality medical attention and love.

While caring for physical health, every opportunity was also used to pray, encourage, and speak life. In those moments, miracles happened, connections deepened, and we witnessed a multiplication of health—body, soul, and spirit. The clinic became a place of both healing and hope.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life.” – John 14:6 Jesus is still caring for His people. Through prayer, healing, medicine, and those He calls to serve. He left us the mission, the love, and the resources to keep bringing hope to every heart.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

Our Vacation Bible School (VBS) was a colorful space filled with joy, laughter, and learning. More than 480 children attended throughout the week, discovering the love of Jesus through stories, songs, and activities designed to plant seeds of faith in young hearts.

We also had the opportunity to continue teaching English, creating a fun, engaging environment that not only supported learning but also brought a sense of family and belonging to the community.

EVANGELISM

The heart of our mission was to share the Gospel. Through prayer, personal encounters, and spiritual support, 65 people made a Statement of Faith, and we witnessed 5 miraculous healings, a reminder that God still moves in power. We also celebrated 1 baptism, a beautiful public declaration of a life transformed by Christ.

PICTURES THAT TELL STORIES

PARTNERSHIPS

During this impactful week, we also had the joy of celebrating a key partnership that continues to bear fruit, El Camino Foundation and World Vision Honduras. In a special meeting, we reflected on our shared mission and values. Both organizations are committed to transforming lives through education, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and above all, doing it in the name of Jesus.

As part of this partnership, we received a significant donation of medications from World Vision, which strengthened the medical outreach led by our brothers and sisters from City Rise Church. These medicines were used both in the mobile clinics, serving children and parents in remote areas, and in the central clinic.
