Mission

Voice of the Bride “Worship and Compassion" Ministries exists for two purposes. We are committed to serving the poor and needy, specifically in Mexico. Daily, we are either picking up donated food supplies for distribution in Tijuana, or distributing food and other items to those in need in the poorer parts of Tijuana. This includes orphanages, rehabs, elderly homes, women's shelters, infirmaries, and various street outreaches, where many people hear the Gospel, as well as receive food for their families. VOB is also committed to worship and intercession, believing that prayer and worship 'grease the wheels' of mission work. VOB has sponsored several targeted worship and intercession events throughout the nation and abroad.
