For Jim Paxton, a retired Marine, husband, father, and Elder at the Rock Church in Yuma , Arizona, service is not only a calling but also foundational to his faith. Recently, his relationship with Church Mexico has deepened that commitment in ways he hadn’t anticipated—connecting faith, community, and cross-cultural friendships just minutes from his doorstep.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple but profound mission: to lead others to saving faith in Jesus and help them grow in their relationship with Him. Discipleship begins with sharing the Good News, and through the Local Churches we support, this mission is woven into every ministry. Every outreach program we undertake, from building a Medical Clinic to evangelism on the soccer field, is a step toward this goal. Whether it’s training pastors to share the Gospel, equipping leaders to disciple youth, or creating safe spaces for vulnerable children, every ministry is designed to embody the spirit of lifestyle evangelism—being ready to share the Good News everywhere we go. The work of Church Mexico in 2024 reflects the power of being firmly rooted in faith. This year, we witnessed God’s transformative power across Northern Mexico through church planting, discipleship, and holistic community support. His harvest was plentiful, and the seeds you helped plant in previous years are flourishing into thriving ministries and transformed lives. Here’s what God accomplished through your prayers and support this year: The Launch of Cristo Vive in Ejido Pachuca: Under Pastor Juan’s leadership, a thriving new congregation is bringing hope to a once-overlooked community. Weekly Bible studies, small groups, and Sunday services have sparked spiritual renewal, with families finding salvation and lives transformed. Expansion of Rescuing Girls & Men of Valor: Through impactful events like “Baking, Boyfriends, and Boundaries” and “Hombres de Valor,” we equipped over 150 youth with tools to build Godly relationships, resist abuse, and embrace their identity in Christ. Completion of the San Luis Security Fence: This project has made our Discipleship Training Base a safe, welcoming haven for ministry, youth programs, and missionary teams, offering protection and peace for all who gather there. Construction of New Eye Exam Room and Supplying New Dental Clinic: With the help of U.S. medical professionals, we provided free healthcare to dozens of families, demonstrating the love of Christ in practical, life-changing ways. New Church Plants & Faith Leaders: O ur Biblical Relational Discipleship program continues to equip pastors and leaders in Baja California and Sonora, strengthening the foundation of each church we plant. Continued Education Access Vulnerable Youth: Programs like King’s Kids provide a safe space for children to learn, grow, and thrive. With your support, we supplied school sponsorships, educational materials, computer access, and mentorship that helped dozens of students succeed this year. These milestones remind us that every ministry matters, and every mile traveled brings us closer to spreading God’s Kingdom. Every ministry we run, every moment to share Christ’s word, and every church we plant represents a step of faith in God’s mission. But the work doesn’t stop with planting; it requires nurturing, tending, and watering to help these churches thrive. Your ongoing support enables us to reach even more communities, share the love of Christ, and plant churches that serve as beacons of hope. Together, we can grow His Kingdom in Northern Mexico and beyond. Will you join us in making an eternal difference? Be part of a mission rooted in faith and flourishing in Christ. Join us today as a recurring donor and make an eternal impact. With your prayers and partnership, we are confident that God will lead us to even greater victories in the year ahead. May you and your loved ones be blessed this holiday season and always. With heartfelt thanks and blessings, The Church Mexico Team
