What We Do

    God has called us to a unique ministry.  We work in the ranchos/villages/pueblos in the state of San Luis Potosi, which is located in the central part of Mexico.  We take a systematic approach in evangelization, trying to be sure that everyone hears the gospel at least once. The famed pastor/evangelist/missionary Dr. Oswald J. Smith asked, "Why should anyone hear the gospel twice before everyone has heard it once."  We are commanded "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to EVERY creature." Mark 16:15

     Therefore, we purchased topographical maps of our state in Mexico. These maps show every house in every rancho located in the state of San Luis Potosi. We visit each house and witness to them, if they will come out (many of the rancho people are very timid) and before leaving, we give them a packet containing a John and Romans which is marked showing them the way of salvation, a "What is your life?" illustrated tract, a letter advising them of the Bible bookstore we have in Moctezuma and a mail in card inviting them to start studying the Bible by correspondence without cost.  
    Once we have been to every house in a roughly 1200-1400 square mile area, we move to another centralized location and start again.
    As people are saved, we begin disciplining them and inviting their neighbors to join us, all with the goal of seeing a church raised up.  
    We believe strongly in the indigenous principle, which means the work is theirs from the beginning.   We are merely there to assist and train, but if they don't have the desire to win their own neighbors and sacrifice to have a "church", we move on to find those who will make the effort.
    We also show gospel films, have Vacation Bible Schools, and other outreaches.
    Please pray for us and intercede for those who have heard the gospel but as yet have not opened their heart and received that wonderful gift of eternal life which is available to ALL who repent and accept Jesus Christ as their only and sufficient Savior
