This past weekend we were blessed to take a team of 16 down to Calvary Chapel Tijuana to serve alongside our @mexicochaplains at a breakfast for police widows and their families. We were honored to host 15 widows and 17 children—families who have endured immense loss, with many receiving little to no support from the police department.
Calvary Chapel Tijuana generously stepped in to help the widows’ organization begin the process of becoming a legal nonprofit so they can raise ongoing support. Throughout the morning, we heard heartbreaking stories—grief mixed with anger toward the department, the city, and even God.
Scripture reminds us of God’s heart for those who suffer:
“The LORD said, ‘I have surely seen the affliction of My people… and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings.’” — Exodus 3:7
By the end of the morning, nearly all the women were in tears, and four accepted the Lord as Chaplain Tammy faithfully shared the Gospel. It was a powerful reminder that God truly does see, hear, and respond to the cries of the brokenhearted.
The children had a wonderful time and loved the Gospel message shared by Stephen and Alyssa. Thank you to every team member in Tijuana and the U.S. who served so selflessly. We are committed to continuing to walk with these widows and their children, showing them the love, hope, and healing found in Jesus.
