Amidst the changes and chances of the COVID-19 pandemic, churches and entities throughout the The Synod of the Sun found ways to not only survive but also find unique and beautiful ways to minister to God's people in need. Mission and ministry takes form in supplying basic necessities to caring for the environment. Connections have been made via video feed and blankets. Love is supplied via learning how to read to dArive-in diapers.
Border Ministry: Pasos de Fe
On the newest episode of SunSpots, we talk with Rev. Tim Gray of University Presbyterian Church in El Paso about the unique ministry between UPC in El Paso and Pasos de Fe Esperanza in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
Tim began his career in Los Angeles, California in Nonprofit Management and Fundraising, but eventually felt called to pastoral ministry and moved to Austin, Texas to study at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. After graduating Tim wanted to return to the border and found a church in El Paso, Texas where he is co-pastor at University Presbyterian Church. Tim is a board member and partner in ministry with Pasos de Fe, a community center, shelter and fluid mission in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
