Rio Bravo Christian Ministries offers the opportunity for various groups  to assist with the work in Mexico.  We have opportunities of service that consist of helping with building/construction projects, teaching in the Pan de Vida  children's ministry or VBS ministry, hosting and preparing meals for the Pulga Gratis for local national workers, and disbursements.    If you should be interested in serving in Mexico, please contact us for further information or check out the "Group - Short-Term Mission Team" section of this webpage. Information concerning work projects for 2008 is now posted.  We have several teams scheduled to come and work this spring and summer but still have some dates open.  Please contact us for further information.

Pan de Vida means "Bread of Life".  The Pan de Vida ministry of Rio Bravo Christian Ministries is a cooperative effort with the local church to reach out to children and their families. The Pan de Vida offers teaching from God's word,  fellowship meals, and also assists with the summer Vacation Bible School and Camp activities.    

The Pan de Vida is currently being offered at the Guerrero Church of Christ and the San Carlos Church of Christ.  In the fall of 2007, 37 children enrolled in Guerrero and that ministry is  offered Monday through Friday, every day that school is in session.  In San Carlos, there are about 35 children, and with the adults  in attendance, there are frequently 55 - 65 in attendance being taught God's word and sharing in a time of fellowship at their Saturday Pan de Vida. 

The Pan de Vida ministry is funded by sponsorships.  A sponsorship for a child is $18.00 per month.   We currently have about 70 children involved in Pan de Vida and many of their parents too.  If you would be interested in sponsoring a child of Pan de Vida, please contact Linda Berg at 830-757-1625 or riobravocm@hotmail.com.
