All for the Glory of God.

–Matthew 5:16

Our History

SONshine Ministries was founded in 2003 by Keith and Linda Axvig and Dan and Pat Schulist to help Mexican Pastors on both sides of the border by providing food, education, housing, and most importantly sharing the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our Story

In 2023, the Freelands accepted the leadership role of the ministry. SONshine Ministries provides food, housing, school tuitions and uniforms, medical care, and monthly support for many families in Northeast Mexico. We also work with 17 pastors and churches, some of whom provide weekly feeding programs to their communities.

We go across the border into Mexico an average 3 times a week to minister to the least of these and have been so blessed to witness God working every day and seeing lives changed for God’s glory.

Every gift you give helps a child thrive, brings hope to a family and rebuilds a community. Through your generosity we deliver tangible help and hope to those who need it most. SONshine Ministries is non-denominational and a 501c3 so your gift is tax deductible.

— Scripture —

“I have showed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

— Act 20:35 —
