  • GENERAL INFORMATION
    An overall snapshot of our history and answers to general questions you might ask about Spectrum as organization as well as the affiliate orphanages with which we work.

  • OUR FOCUS IN MINISTRY
    Perhaps we should make "focus" plural here. As the word "spectrum" implies, we have several foci, which we detail in this section.

  • WHERE WE WORK
    We have chosen to work in the poor and neglected areas of Tijuana that are invisible to the average tourist visiting T.J. or Ensanada. In most cases, the border divides the "haves" from the "have-nots." Indeed, the poor of Tijuana constitute a legitimate mission field.

  • HOW YOU CAN HELP

IF SPECTRUM IS NOT FOR YOU!

We are a small and rather unique ministry, working just across our border in Tijuana. We are not what most would consider a Short Term Mission, that is, a per person package program to serve somewhere in the world.
