What We're About

Hi Everyone,
Crist and I have begun to realize that many of you might not know what Back2Back is really all about. You know that this is the mission organization that we are serving with, but do you really know the heart of this ministry? We thought this might be a good opportunity to share a little bit about B2B.

Our Vision: "We desire for every orphan and impoverished child to have the opportunity for success through "care for today and hope for tomorrow." Our goal is that each child would experience restoration to a life of purpose in which they can become fulfilled and mature Christian adults."

Our Mission: "Back2Back Ministries is an international Christian non-profit organization that is dedicated to being a voice for orphans. We exist to love and care for orphans and impoverished children, by meeting their physical, spiritual, educational, social and emotional needs that they may overcome their life circumstances and break free from the cycle of generational poverty."

Several years ago Back2Back began in Monterrey, Mexico and four years ago, B2B began doing ministry in Jos, Nigeria and in India. Each country's facility/compound has the capability to host work teams throughout the year. Through work teams, the various national ministry partners have projects on their sites completed and ministry outreaches into the communities fulfilled. Every activity is organized with the purpose of accomplishing the vision of the ministry.
Each year, a theme is selected for that year and a week's worth of daily devotionals are compiled by various staff people that are used for the work teams that come during the year. This year's theme is Hungering for God. Taken from "The Message", Hebrews 12:16 reads, "Watch out for the Esau syndrome: trading away God's lifelong gift in order to satisy a short-term appetite." This year as we HUNGER for God we are challenged, staff and work team member alike, that spiritual hunger is only satisfied when we submit it to the Lord.

Many of you reading this have given financially to support Crist and I here in Jos, Nigeria. We thank each of you for that sacrifice. But, we would be remiss if we didn't also mention that if at any time, the Lord puts on your heart to give to the ministry of Back2Back; thus aiding the life of the orphan child here in Nigeria, please just click on the link to B2B on this blogspot and it will take it from there.

At our staff meeting yesterday, we were each given "Hunger" staff t-shirts and so, of course, we had a picture taken of all of us (and children) for you to see. I've got lots more to share, but that will be for another time. Until then.....

In-joy,
Eileen and Crist
