Mexico Programs

Back2Back Mexico Programs

The following programs were created with a focus of bringing needed resources to the strategic success points of the ministry’s efforts to provide “care for today, and hope for tomorrow.”  Please prayerfully consider coming on as our support team in one of our program areas.

The James Round Table

The James Round Table was formed by two of our board members; Mr. Mike Ellison and Mrs. Martha Lindner.  Both have spoken boldly about their desire to bring needed support to the ministry’s teen education program, emergency fund, and support for the staff’s work in championing deeper personal relationships with the children at the homes. 

Program Description The calling to the James Round Table membership entails a commitment of standing alongside Back2Back financially with a gift of $5000.  As a member, your financial contribution will support these four areas: •    Provide funds for the staff to meet the ongoing needs of the children’s homes they champion •    Support a fund for emergency needs for the people served in Monterrey •    Meet the full funding needs of the education program for teens in prepa (high school) and college •    Create startup funding for a Development Director – support for 12-18 months until self-sufficient. 

As a ministry, in our partnership with James Round Table members we are committed to providing monthly updates stating the impact of the programs being funded, an invitation to a semi-annual luncheon to hear firsthand from our ministry staff, and invitations to join missions’ opportunities in Monterrey.

Hope Program

Program Description The Hope Program is built around residence style living on our new campus property addition.  Students who have come through the local children’s homes are in invited to join the program at the end of their public education, the end of their 9th grade year at age 15.  Eight teens live in a home with college educated house parents who provide mentoring, guidance, and general support for the teens as they pursue their academic and career goals.

Projected Growth Studies of the children’s homes we currently work with indicate that by next  year, there will be 50 students entering our Hope program in order to pursue a degree program in high school or college.

Needs Monthly financial support is needed to operate these homes.  Funding needs include utilities, food, clothing, household, and transportation expenses.  

Current Funding and Future Funding Needs Total program needs is $3000 per each home currently in operation.

Sponsor Teen Education

Program Description Education through degree programs in high school and college is one of the most strategic avenues for teens in Monterrey to break the cycle of poverty and economic hardship.  The Back2Back staff in Monterrey place a tremendous emphasis on helping the teens pursue higher education.  Currently there are 18 students enrolled in private high school (public school ends at the 9th grade in Mexico) and 21 college students studying in the local universities through the Hope Program.  All the enrolled students are receiving scholarships from their schools, which helps with a portion of their educational costs.  

Projected Growth Studies of the children’s homes we currently work with indicate that by next  year, there will be 50 students entering our Hope program in order to pursue a degree program in high school or college.  Needs include laptop computers, backpacks, calculators, school supplies and tuition. 

Current Funding and Future Funding Needs per school year Total educational support needs are $108,000 per year or $9,000 per month.

Shelter Child Sponsorship Program

Program Description Through the Shelter Program, you can make a lasting difference in the life of a child at one of the orphanages with which we partner, through monthly child sponsorship.  To us, providing shelter goes beyond simply meeting the physical needs of a child.  It means helping each child understand the love, care and protection of their heavenly Father.  Sponsors assist us in accomplishing that, by contributing toward the expense of providing food, housing, clothing, health care and educational opportunities, as well as spiritual training and personal development.  

Sponsors will have the opportunity to build a meaningful relationship with their child through letters, quarterly updates, prayers and even visits, should they choose to take part in a future Back2Back mission trip.  Unlike some sponsorship programs, the Shelter Program fosters a one-to-one relationship – each child is matched with only one sponsor or sponsor family to help the pair forge a deep and personal relationship.

Needs Our goal is that each child we serve would have the benefit of a sponsor, but many children are still waiting for a sponsor.  

Current Funding and Future Funding Needs Child sponsorship is a $100 per month investment.  This amount covers the total cost for the children's home to care for the child for a month.  If you are interested in sponsoring a child, please contact Claire Rogers at the Back2Back US office at claire@back2backministries.org or 513.754.0300, ext 1704.

Staff Support

Missionaries and staff members raise private support to cover their salaries so the ministry can deliver more services to the people it ministers to.

Program Description Each staff member is fully funded with all resources needed to meet the needs of the people they serve.  Our staff, both Mexico and Stateside, support and maintain a personal relationship with each Children’s Home, the teen program, and the ongoing American mission teams.  Each of theses relationships all focus on the growth and development of each child.

Needs Our current needs are over $3,000 in monthly staff support.  

Projected Growth We have three staff currently in the process of fundraising to come on staff full time.  We project the addition of one staff couple each year for the next two years. In addition, our current staff continually needs additional funding for their individual account.
