Newsboys' Frontman Returns from Mission in Baja
Peter Furler collaborates with Baja Christian Ministries in building homes for residents.
Newsboys, recently returned from a mission trip to Baja California, Mexico.
Working with members from Newsboys’ management company and friends from New Zealand, Furler’s team partnered with Baja Christian Ministries to build a home for a local family in the small town of Vista de Valle. He further visited local pastors and families, listening to their stories and sharing the Word with them. An extended trip with Newsboys and Baja Ministries is currently being planned and will include building several homes over the next year.
Upon returning from Mexico, Furler attended the 26th Annual ASCAP Christian Music Awards and was honored in the “Song of the Year” category for “He Reigns.”
