Bringing the Kingdom Down to Earth with Nathan Alpert and YUGO Ministries

Join me as I sit down with Nathan Alpert, the dynamic president of YUGO Ministries, who is making a tangible difference in Ensenada, Mexico. Our heartfelt conversation centers around the ministry's fusion of an outward-focused mission trip with an inward-focused Christian conference. Together, we reflect on the power of collective prayer, the beauty of community support, and the life-changing experience my daughter had on her 7th birthday mission trip to Mexico. Nathan also shares stirring tales from the back alleys of YUGO Ministries, offering a window into the impactful work they do on the ground.

Have you ever pondered the intricacies of 'Bringing the Kingdom Down to Earth'? Nathan and I unravel this profound concept, walking through Jesus's mission of establishing a unique, eternal kingdom and our role as conduits of divine love and peace. Let's explore an interesting parallel between a pizza box and our purpose as vessels of God's kingdom. We also examine the importance of spiritual wellness through love and service and the grace that covers us when we falter.

In the latter part of our conversation, Nathan shares enlightening insights on the perceptions of Mexico and conservative Christianity. He emphasizes the significance of leading with love before truth-telling, drawing from Jesus's ministry as a guide. He paints a portrait of the warmth and welcoming spirit of the Mexican people, challenging the media-driven narratives of hostility. As we wrap up, we invite you to join us in a prayer of gratitude for the work of YUGO Ministries and Journey Church. We hope this episode ignites a spark in you to engage, understand, and take action.
