Heart for the World has been honored to partner with Pastor Vicky Ponce for over 20 years. Since 2010, Pastor Vicky has faithfully led El Rey Ya Viene church in Juarez, Mexico, where her love and dedication continue to transform lives, especially those of the children in her neighborhood.

Twice a week, Pastor Vicky runs a feeding center from her church, providing hot meals and hope to local children in need. Known affectionately as “Mamá Vicky,” she is a trusted, loving presence who also shares a fun and engaging Bible class during each visit.

Heart for the World teams travel to Juarez three times a year on mission trips to partner with Pastor Vicky. During these trips, we minister to and play with around 100 –120 children, sharing God’s love through worship, teaching, games, gifts and connection.
