Biblioteca Andante Library Bus

Biblioteca Andante - a ministry of Youth With A Mission YWAM in Tijuana, Mexico that shares the love of God through Reading! (Luke 2:52).

Somos una iniciativa comunitaria de Juventud Con Una Misión (JUCUM) en Tijuana que comparte el amor de Dios a través de la lectura Círculo Andante, or "Walking Circle", is a kid's ministry that disciples children through education, developing them into lifelong learners and Christ-followers. We met once a week with kids ages 3-13 and teach them our 3 core values, based on Luke 10:27: to love God,

love others, and love yourself. After discussing these values, we have a Bible teaching and the children learn a memory verse. Afterwards, we divide the children into different age groups and teach lesson that help them strengthen their math and reading skills in a fun, safe and loving environment. The Biblioteca Andante Library BUS was born out the the Círculo Andante ("Walking Circle") ministry. This began in 2009 as a way to follow up with families that received a Homes of Hope house. This ministry helped us maintain relationship with these families and through that, have the privilege of seeing how their lives are changed after receiving a new home. Since this ministry began, it has impacted to over 100 children from 5 different communities. Our desire is to make God known to these kids so that through the hearts of the children, the whole community will come to know the love of Jesus Christ. Circulo Andante is a holistic ministry that addresses not only spiritual life, but aims to see children grow in the areas of physical, educational, and social development as well. Jesus is our example for the healthy development of a child, as He "grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." In the future, we hope to see this transformational ministry multiplied throughout the city, country and to the nations. One exciting new addition to this ministry in Tijuana in 2014 is the "Biblioteca Andante" or the Mobile Library Bus. We have converted a school bus into a library in order to take books to the poorest communities of Tijuana, where access to city libraries is very limited and education levels are very low. In addition to promoting literacy, the library program teaches children to be responsible and trustworthy.

Desde mundos mágicos hasta historias reales que tocan el corazón, un libro puede abrir puertas donde antes solo había muros.
Cada página es una aventura, una lección, una chispa de imaginación.

¿Y tú, a qué lugar te ha llevado un libro últimamente?
