What We Do

Serving with Purpose, Reaching with Love

At YLM, we are called to transform lives through faith in actionresponding to real needs with compassion, resources, and the hope of the Gospel. Our work spans across the El Paso region and into Mexico, where we serve individuals, families, and entire communities through practical outreach and spiritual care.

01

Mercy 

At YLM, mercy is more than an emotion—it’s the heartbeat of our mission. Flowing from God’s endless love and mercy for us, it drives every food box we share, every prayer we lift, and every home we help build. Because He first loved us, we go where the hurting, the hungry, and the overlooked are, bringing compassion, dignity, and the true hope found only in Christ. 

02

Music 

YLM’s Adelante Ministries uses music to reach communities, unite believers and cultivate faith with the Gospel. Through Mariachi San Pablo—the world’s only Lutheran mariachi band—we share Christ’s love locally and across the U.S. and Mexico, blending hymns, contemporary Christian songs, and mariachi classics to inspire and uplift people of all backgrounds. 

03

Missions 

Supporting missions and churches is about partnering in God’s work to share the Gospel, strengthen faith, and serve communities. By providing resources, prayer, and encouragement, YLM helps ministries grow, equips leaders, and reaches more people with the hope of Christ—advancing God’s kingdom here and around the world.
