Mexico – Back2Back Ministries

Reset & Refocus

Back2Back staff work long hours, step into difficult story lines, and never stop fighting on behalf of the vulnerable populations they serve globally. Each year, the Back2Back Care Team hosts staff retreats for the different staff teams, and this year in the D.R. it was an extra special time.

Beating the Odds

The National Stadium is a multipurpose sports stadium located in the capital city of Nigeria. The stadium serves as home to the Nigerian National Football team, as well as a center for various social, cultural, and religious events.

To Get Back Up Again

Kate* clocked out at the health food stand she’s long worked at and heads in the direction of home. She smiles to herself, considering all she’s accomplished and how far she had to come to do it.

Growing in Depth & Breadth

Back2Back’s Dominican Republic site is unique from the sites who came before it. While partnerships with local non-profits are being established, the vision is to impact more children and families by scaling through others, to grow in breadth.

Forming Relationship, Finding Healing

Across the world, Back2Back staff have faithfully shown up and served vulnerable children for the last 25+ years. As the ministry grows, expanding its reach, depth, and breadth, families have become a top priority at many of the sites.

A Young Man of Perseverance

Alan* smiles to himself as he sees the passing score on his admissions exam for university.

The Impact of Investment

Back2Back’s sponsorship program allows connections between safe adults and vulnerable populations around the world.

New Paths of Self-Discovery

As Back2Back continues to grow in depth and breadth of their care for vulnerable populations in India, there are cultural expectations to consider as the best, most holistic approach is provided.

Bringing His Kids Back

House of Hope is one organization they invest deeply in – providing Trauma Competent Care training, assisting in after-school programming, and creating safe spaces to connect with vulnerable children.

To Mobilize Others

Recently, Cheque and Hope Garcia, Back2Back D.R. Co-Directors, attended a local conference with their whole staff team that gathered people from the Dominican area who have a heart for the vulnerable.

Rebuilding What Was Once Fractured

Much has changed recently at a Back2Back-partnering children’s home. When the pandemic made its way to Mexico, many of the children under Back2Back’s care returned to live with biological families, if it was safe for them to do so.

Growing in Confidence & Peace

Esther Stephen watched the young man who’s lived in her home, as her foster child, for a number of years. She sees his eyes soften as he cradles her new daughter, a gentleness comes over him, and Esther smiles to herself, knowing when the young man is around, her daughter will always be safe and well-cared for.

New Skills for Their Families

Together, staff are dedicated to providing holistic care and life skills classes just like this to the strong families of Haiti.

Seeing the Changes He Needs to Make

Santosh Kumar, Back2Back staff, is an incredible advocate for Strong Families in the city as he connects them to the appropriate resources to meet their needs.

Educational Access is a Right

At a partnering children’s home in Mazatlán, Mexico, access to the internet has transformed the way children are learning.

Choosing to Engage

Samson shared his pride and joy over the teens’ choices to positively interact with others in a tense situation.

Let Me See Your Eyes

Connection Groups intentional times for children in the same age groups to learn about their emotions, how to voice them, and how to manage them.

The Power of Trauma-Informed Education

Iniko* has long been thought of as the reserved, quiet child in his peer group. For as long as Back2Back staff have known him, they’ve believed he was simply an introverted young man who kept close to his siblings and himself.

Gaining Understanding

Leah partners with the head teacher and together, they are learning from each other on best ways to serve the group of children under their care.

Training Leads to Empowerment

Recently, weekly Trauma Competent Care trainings started, led by Back2Back staff to two different couples in the same area the ministry is located. A foster family couple and a missionary couple wanted to dive deeper into trauma-informed care and have a desire to share what they’re learning with others.

Altering Their Perception

The area where the children live in Nigeria is known for its agriculture and an abundance of fruit, but strawberries are often very expensive and typically thought of as a rich person’s food.

What Lasts Longer Than a Program? How Communities of Belonging Change the Narrative

Pursuing educational equity, the Back2Back Cincinnati team created resources and relationships, and saw a difference within weeks. Children once projected to fail were now reading complete sentences.

Prioritizing Connection

Many of the mothers served through the Strong Families Program in Cancun never had days like this with their own mothers, and it is the staff team’s desire to create new traditions and memories alongside every family member in unique ways.

A Mountaintop Experience

Four Hope Program students sat atop the high mountain peak and looked at their city below. One of the young men started pointing, calling out landmarks or locations he recognized as the sun shone brightly from a cloudless, blue sky.
