Nogales, Mexico
Victor and Kay Hoehn of Faith Outreach for
Christ live in Rio Rico, AZ where they are
semi-retired teachers. However, there hearts
lies in the streets of Nogales, Sonora just
minutes a way and yet a world apart. They
teach classes in Mexico three nights a week
and are involved with seven different
churches where they describe there work as
the "helps ministry." This drastically
under-estimates the impact these two kind
souls have on the people of Nogales, Sonora.
Victor spent many years working in a salvage
yard in Phoenix, AZ. He now uses those
skills to help the churches in the Faith
Outreach for Christ network. On some days
he and his wife cross the border multiple
times to bring things from the U.S. that the
different churches need. He owns a
century-card which allows him to cross
quickly without having to wait in lines for up to
three hours to get back into the states.
Victor and Kay have been ministering in
Northern Mexico for 25 years and are
bilingual.
During the day I spent with them they took
me to 3 different churches and a new site for
one of the churches. Victor who calls himself
"a Gideon", witnessed to between 5 and 10
people during the time we spent together,
handing out bibles and proclaiming the good
news in spanish and english. His affable
nature disarmed people, and his outgoing
personality made him a born evangelist. Still
he claims he is not a minister but merely in
the "helps ministry."
During my day in Nogales I also met Tony
Gonzalez (not the football player) who is the
president of Faith Outreach for Christ. He is
a minister at one of the churches and
supports all seven through their organization.
Pastor Gonzalez encouraged me that if we
wanted to come to Nogales and set up
medical and dental clinics they could easily
put out the word to all seven churches and to
the communities of each church. He related
to me that when a church came before with
several doctors, so many people showed up
for medical care that they had to hand out
numbers and bring many back on different
days. If you are interested in getting involved
in medical outreach trips to Nogales, Sonora
just email us or call and we'll get you more
information.

Many suggest that we should not
go to Nogales, Sonora because so
many other churches are already
there - but with 300,000-400,000
people living in poverty right next to
us how can we turn away?

The black container on top of this house holds
the water support for this family. Twice a week a
truck comes around and honks the horn. If you
need water you just have to come outside. The
average citizen in Nogales makes $60/week, but
it cost $20 just to fill the water tank.

This is one of the churches I visited. It is very

This church (pictured on the left) has plenty of
room to see patients if we move the chairs.
There is no running water upstairs, but if we
can provide a water pump there is water
downstairs that could be pumped up to this
location.

This land was donated to the church on the

will last for many years. They have no money
as of yet to begin building.
