Who We Are
For over 25 years, Sheryl and Donato Garcia have been called by God to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in Donato’s hometown of Rancho Boquillas, located in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico.
Rancho Boquillas
Located in the state of Guanajuato, in the heart of Mexico, Rancho Boquillas is a small community of 1500 people. It is the birthplace of Donato and is still home to many of his family members. These small Ranchos all over Mexico, are usually rural and agricultural and are set around a large Catholic church. They are conservative in nature and are very hard places to bring the gospel to.
The biggest accomplishment by far is the relationships that have been built over the years. These will remain forever. When our group first landed in Boquillas the most common question asked by our hosts was “why would you want to come to Boquillas when you could go anywhere else?” After all, Boquillas isn’t a vacation destination. Our response has always been, “we come because of you!” That answer has paid off in a deep relationship with the whole town, changed lives, and a constant anticipation of the next visit.
The Purpose of Our Commission
The Boquillas Commission’s main purpose is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in words, deeds, and actions. We provide biblical teaching to men, women, and children through practical ways such as vacation bible school, adult bible classes, community outreach events, construction projects, and physical needs within the community and the nearby areas. Our hope is that the gospel of Jesus Christ will go out from Boquillas to the surrounding areas of Mexico.
It is also our hope that not only the people of Mexico would be changed by the gospel but the people that join us would be changed. With mostly whole family units joining us. Some participants have been going every year since the beginning, their children have never had a spring break outside of Rancho Boquillas, and some participants that went as children are now returning with their own families!
Our missionaries experience the unity in the body of Christ, build relationships with others that last a lifetime, experience family and friendship on a whole new level, and are provided an opportunity to use their gifts and talents where age is not a factor nor an obstacle.
