Missions
Casa De Oro Bible Church is involved in supporting many Christian ministries around the world. A portion of our church budget is sent to these ministries along with our prayers and occasionally individual and group participation. Below is a sampling of these mission endeavors we support. Watch for more of our church's missions involvement to be featured on this page.
Pastors to
Prisoners Ministry
We believe it is not enough simply to incarcerate lawbreakers. Punishment must include an opportunity for rehabilitation in order to limit the prison population and give offenders an opportunity to make a positive contribution to society. Lasting change comes from the inside out, through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Public monies provide only one Protestant Chaplain per institution to serve upwards of 4000+ inmates on several yards within each prison. We provide a non-institutional resource for men interested in changing their lives, maintaining the Chapel open for Bible studies, worship services, and counseling throughout the day and evening.
Pastors are able to meet and know the men where they are and be available for counseling on a daily basis. They are able to be Christian role models for those inside, and are often the first one a non-churched inmate has ever had. Pastors are able to reinforce the fact that there are people who care about the inmates as individuals and want to see them succeed. Although located within a "punishment" setting, they do not punish. Instead, they provide guidance for inmates, preparing them for release and teaching them to make choices that will change their life situation that landed them in prison.

Meet Ello
Before I knew who God was, my life was full of unrighteousness. I believed there was nothing after death and that nothing we did on earth truly mattered. I considered myself an atheist. My mother, however, was the complete opposite. She played one of the biggest roles in leading me to Christ. She was completely devoted to the Lord, giving Him her all even when life became difficult. It didn't matter whether the path was smooth or filled with obstacles. She trusted that the Lord would lead our family through.
In late September, 2024, my mother suddenly passed away. Her death had a tremendous impact on me and left me struggling with deep depression because she was one of the
most important people in my life. Shortly afterward, I called upon the Lord, asking Him to comfort me during that season of grief. The very next day, I met a campus minister from New Life Christian Church.
I began studying the Bible with the minister I met so I could learn more about the Lord and all that Jesus has done for us. During this time, my best friend from back home gave his life to Jesus. Watching God work in his life changed the way I viewed Christ. Seeing how he transformed the lives of people I loved gave me hope that He could transform mine as well. On September 16, 2025, I prayed to surrender my life to the Lord in a Bible study on campus! God has surrounded me with remarkable people who encourage me in my faith, and He has removed many of the influences that were leading me away from Him. Placing my faith in Jesus has given me a peace I never had before.
Although my life still has its challenges, I no longer face them alone. God has blessed me with jobs, strengthened my relationship with family and friends, and continues to teach me what it truly means to follow Him. Looking back, I can clearly see His hand guiding me every step of the way, and I am grateful for the new life He has given me in Christ."

End of the Year Newsletter
"Dear friend of San Diego Teen Challenge, as we near this celebration of the coming of the Lord and Savior of the world, we are reminded that God is with us. He has not left us alone in our pain, sin, or lonliness but He fulfilled His great promise to the world, made His dwelling among us, and brought salvation to the Earth. Today, I want to remind you that God is still faithful to every promise. He is still reaching the lost, saving the sinner, healing the sick, and setting the captives free. He is Christ the Lord and will finish the great work He has started until He comes again.
As we celebrate the goodness and miracle of God's unfailing love this Christmas season, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your faithful prayers and generous support of Teen Challenge San Diego.
What God is doing here can only be explained by His profound love, His powerful Word, and His Holy Spirit mightily at work in the lives of our students, staff, and volunteers. My prayer for you this Christmas is that God will do 'exceedingly and abundantly above all that we can ask or imagine according to His great power that is at work within us.'

Event Spotlight: Encounter
Encounters are life-changing events that have been designed to help individuals foster a closer relationship with Jesus Christ through a direct experience of God's presence and love. Unlike traditional seminars or events, Encounters are centered around sharing real-life stories from individuals who have experienced transformation through their faith in Jesus Christ. On September 19th, San Diego Teen Challenge paused the program to allow this special event to take place and our men in the program to experience it. We had several leaders from the Encounter Ministry fly from Reno, NV, to run this event exclusively for SDTC: Several of our men accepted Jesus for the first time, and 15 of them got water baptized! A 2025 core memory!"
Samaritan's Purse:
Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, demonstrates God’s love to children in need around the world through shoebox gifts filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items. Since 1993, more than 232 million shoeboxes have been delivered to kids in over 170 countries, each one paired with the message of the Gospel. Local churches host outreach events where children receive
their gifts and hear about Jesus, with many continuing in discipleship through The Greatest Journey, a 12-lesson program that has led millions of children to follow Christ. What began with just 28,000 boxes in 1993 has grown into a global movement, with volunteers, churches, and families partnering together to share the hope of Christ with the next generation.
The Gideons International
The Gideons International is an association of Christian business and professional men dedicated to sharing God’s Word worldwide. Since 1899, their mission has been to distribute free Bibles and New Testaments so that all may come to know Jesus Christ. Best known for placing Bibles in hotels, hospitals, and schools, the Gideons also personally
share Scriptures in prisons, with the military, and in communities around the world. They have distributed more than 2 billion copies of God’s Word in over 200 countries and more than 100 languages. Every Bible placed is an opportunity for someone to encounter the life-changing message of the Gospel.

We dedicate ourselves to Biblical evangelism. Our desire is to reach all of Latin America with the Gospel of Jesus Christ before His return, and we do this by training, equipping and motivating churches to fulfill the Great Commission, to the Glory of God the Father.
Our ministry was started in the red light district of San Jose, Costa Rica in 1969. In the years since, it has expanded to every Central American Country, several countries in South America, every state in Mexico, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and for a
period of time there was an itinerant missionary into China. It has been used by the Lord to see more than 2,000,000 professions of faith.
We have been blessed to speak in churches and at major events in front of tens to thousands of people, as well as on national Latin radio and television programs, but we also truly believe in street preaching in the hope that it will reach God's children that have not been exposed to a church environment.
