MEDIA ADVISORY, Feb. 21 /Christian Newswire/ -- MOTE (Missions On The Edge), partnering with Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church in San Diego, California, delivered 1200 warm blankets to be distributed among American inmates in Tijuana, Tecate, and Ensenada Mexican prisons.

The blankets, accompanied with a New Testament Bible, are designated for Christian church members within the prison. However, to receive a blanket, the inmate must agree to use it as a tool to reach out to a non-believer and give it away.

Pastor David Walden (aka Chappy Dave), president of MOTE, Inc., and lead pastor of Iglesia Cristiano Americano Church in La Mesa Prison located in Tijuana says, "To give something as valuable as a new warm blanket in these prisons where they have absolutely nothing is a Big Deal." The inmates distributing the blankets will be learning and acting upon the biblical truth that it is better to give than to receive; and they will be reaching out to 1200 inmates who desperately need Jesus.

"It is our prayer that these blankets will double the church attendance in these three prisons and that thousands of souls will be won for Christ," says Chappy Dave. MOTE, and the American men and women in Mexican prisons extend a big thank you to the mission board and body of believers at Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church for helping us make this happen.
