Our Partnerships
"Brethren, pray for us that the Word of the Lord would run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you." 2 Thessalonians 3:1
Tarahumara (Raramuri)
The Tarahumara people are distant Aztec descendants and renowned long distance runners that have been displaced to the rugged Sierra Madre Mountains and Copper Canyon of Mexico. The extreme terrain, difficult language barrier, a culture without community, and an animistic belief system have made the Tarahumara a challenging group to reach with the light of Christ.
YWAM Creel and Cuauhtémoc Church
Youth With A Mission (YWAM) maintains a fruitful Gospel witness in Creel, Mexico and ministers to the resisdents as well as to the indigenous peoples living in and around Copper Canyon. In partnership with the local church YWAM labors on behalf of the community through evangelism, discipleship, educating believers, training leaders, Bible translation, and by meeting the physical needs of their neighbors.
La Mesa Clinic
La Mesa Clinic is a ministry of Pioneers who engage a multifaceted approach to ministry among the Tarahumara people. The staff provide medical services, literacy training, education, translation, and outreach, witnesssing to an isolated people living in a harsh land.
