Our Mission Statement
“Our ministry is to reach the Latin culture sharing the Good news of Salvation that we all have through the blood of Jesus; welcoming them into the Kingdom of God and His family.
We not only care about their salvation, but we also want to disciple leaders in the Word, equipping them to offer the hope of the Gospel to their families, communities, and the World.”

Our Work & Projects
Since moving to Mexico as long-term missionaries, we have had so many unforeseen setbacks and the beginning was really tough on base- from us loosing a baby in an ectopic pregnancy/ emergency surgery to save Anastasiya’s life the first week being here, to loosing both Jonathan’s parents (who were the founders of this ministry), to our 17 month old nephew Willie passing away unexpectedly early in Jan 2020 to many, many more hardships in between. While this beginning is nothing like we had expected and hoped for, we know that God wants us to be here and we are faithfully persevering.
We’ve also have had some beautiful moments since we’ve arrived too- our 2nd son Maximus was born April 2019 (At the exact 2 year mark after we had lost a baby.) Our 3rd son Andrei was born August 2021, and we are expecting our daughter to be born in 2025.
We have been making TREMENDOUS improvements to finish the construction of the Bible college building; even though it is still not completely done yet.
We have continued to still have classes in this Bible school building, while reaching out to the community in this village with all kinds of events. Our goal is to have full-time classes and students living on campus once we are all finished with it.
We finished the construction of the church plant in La Venta and continue to serve faithfully preaching, Bible studies & leading worship, overseeing the ministries and all the maintenance.
We do evangelical children/ youth outreaches & camps, woman’s ministry and we have hosted several large short mission trip teams from the US which were the absolute biggest blessing to us and the Mexican community!
Our current big projects
One of our biggest construction projects right now is to finish and move into our missionary parsonage home, where we will live long term while being here in Mexico. It is so close to be livable in with a little newborn!
The second biggest project is the completion of the Bible College building. We have done tremendous amounts of work over the years which we have been there, but we are still lacking many small projects like furnishing the dorm rooms, installing restroom doors and much more.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to those that have helped us already financially, spiritually and physically these past 7 years, we appreciate every big and little thing and would not be here without all the support!
If you’d like more info about us or if you’d like to lead a short-term mission team, to come intern with us, or to help us in any way if you feel led- we would absolutely LOVE to hear from you!
