How To Give

(For processing instructions, please continue to the “Giving Instructions” section on this page.)

You are able to play a vital role in the vision of YWAM missionaries and ministries. Every YWAM missionary and ministry is released into God’s Great Commission through partnership with supporters. Your love, financial, and prayer support are a part of the faith-building adventure we are on as we witness God doing great things.

Here are some ways you can help:

Missionary Support

Each YWAM missionary functions on the financial support of partners like you. By linking with a local YWAM missionary, you can help support them in what God has called them to do, build relationship with them, and have a part in God’s work here along the U.S.-Mexico border and around the world. YWAM El Paso-Juárez also helps process the funds for YWAM missionaries at other locations. To donate toward a missionary’s support, continue to the “Giving Instructions” section on this page. For questions about missionary support, please contact us at Accounting@ywamepj.org or call our office at (915) 757-3387.

General Donations

General donations are used for the operating costs of our ministry location (electric, water and sewer, supplies and equipment, maintenance, etc.) and enable us to function in the different areas of ministry here at YWAM El Paso-Juárez. At times general donations may be used for a specific area that has a financial need. To donate toward our general funds, continue to the “Giving Instructions” section on this page. For questions about general donations, please contact us at Accounting@ywamepj.org or call our office at (915) 757-3387.

Rancho Los Amigos

Rancho Los Amigos (RLA) is the children’s home ministry of YWAM El Paso-Juárez. There are several ways you can give to this ministry.

Child Sponsorship: Each child at RLA is supported through monthly sponsorships. Gifts of $30, $60, $100, or more go toward the $450 we need per child each month to help cover different expenses included in their care. To find out more about our sponsorship program, please fill out the online Response Form and contact us at RLA@ywamepj.org.

A General Operating Expense Donation: Designated gifts toward the RLA operating expenses help with food, utility costs, vehicle expenses, maintenance, and more. These are vital for maintaining the level of care we offer to the children brought to us.

An Education Fund Donation: We believe education is key to improving the future for our children. Our goal is to provide each one with the best bilingual education we can, so your designated gifts allow us to place them in a school that provides a solid, character-based education.

An Anchor Donation: To meet our yearly budget and to maintain the quality of care of the children, we need several large donations a year to anchor us in the occasional challenging financial currents.  If you are able to give a gift of $1,000 or more, this may be how you can partner with us to impact these children’s lives and change their future.

New Children’s Home Donation: The current adobe structure that the children live in is disintegrating and must be replaced.  Work is almost finished on the complete plans for the new home and funds are beginning to come in.  Will you help provide a new safe and secure home for our children?

To donate toward any of these areas, continue to the “Giving Instructions” section on this page. For questions concerning these areas, please contact us at RLA@ywamepj.org or call our office at (915) 757-3387.

Scholarships Our strategic location along the U.S.-Mexico border enables us to impact people from many nations. For those coming from developing nations, it is more difficult to meet the costs of the different programs. Following are some of the Scholarship Funds we have established for YWAM El Paso-Juárez.

Short Term Ministries : There are many children and youth in churches around Juárez who hunger for the opportunity to know God more intimately. Our Spanish Mission Adventures program gives them one week to hear God’s Word, learn effective dramas, and then apply what they learn through outreaches around the city. Our goal is to give at least 50 young people this opportunity each spring. A donation of $150 will sponsor one young person to attend the next Spanish Mission Adventures session. To donate, continue to the “How to Give” section on this page, email us at GOTeams@ywamepj.org or call our office at (915) 757-3387.

Training Schools: One goal of our ministry is to raise up missionaries and leaders from Mexico and other developing nations to go into the world and spread the Good News! We already have several missionaries from Mexico in the least evangelized nations of the world trained and sent out from our ministry. Often it is harder for students from developing nations to afford the tuition for our training schools, so we have established a Training Scholarship Fund for these students. This fund provides approximately 63% of the normal tuition fee per recipient. We need to raise approximately $2,100 per studentfrom developing nations. Will you prayerfully consider a gift to this fund? To give to this fund, continue to the “How to Give” section on this page, email us at Training@ywamepj.org or call our office at (915) 757-3387.
