Fall Term Life


Week 7. Hard to believe it, but today begins our 7th week of classes at Baja Bible School. Life has been filled with time studying the Word with our instructors, studying Spanish, getting to know the city, eating Mexican food, and getting to know one another. Here are a few photos that show a bit about school life and our lives here together in Tijuana.

Recently, we visited CECUIT, which is the home of the local IMAX movie theater, museo de los Californias (museum telling the history of Baja California), and a garden area filled with many Mayan statues. This photo shows La Bola as it called down here and home of the IMAX screen.

Meet Katie and Leah. These are the two women that I get to be dean to.

This large head is part of the garden that you can visit at CECUIT. And joining Katie and I in this photo is our neighbor, Alex.


Meet Rory. This is another one of our students and he graciously let me take his picture as he headed out to do his laundry. The students get to use the local laundry mat down the hill, so he has wisely developed a system using his suitcase with wheels. He weekly rolls it down the hill. I always get a kick out of this.

Every Saturday and Sunday night the students have been eating dinner at the local taco stand down the street.

The fall fog...beautiful morning views
this time of year.

Meet Elena Sorensen. Maybe one day a future student, but for now she adds a lot to all our lives as we get to watch her grow up.

Perspectives Course in Tijuana



This winter, Baja Bible School is going to be the site of an intensive perspectives course.  What is perspectives?  Well, it is a course that takes students through the biblical basis of missions, the history of missions, and concludes with classes on church planting, culture, and how we can partner with God as He works among the nations.  Normally this course is offered over 15 weeks, but it can be structured in what they call an intensive format.  So, this is an invitation to you all to join us in Tijuana on the campus of Baja Bible School from January 18th to February 5th.  For three weeks, you have the opportunity to take this course and to do it in a cross cultural setting.  

We would love for you to partner with us as we prepare for the course in January.  Here are a few ideas:

1.  Come!  Be a student and be very blessed by an awesome class.

2.  Tell a friend.  If you know someone that would want to take this class, please tell them about this opportunity.

3.  And most importantly of all, please PRAY with us.  PRAY that God will guide specific people here to take the perspectives course this winter.
