Evangelism, Prayer & Visitation Ministries
This will be one of the highlights of your mission trip. You’ll actually go inside homes
to pray with needy folks, encourage them, see how they live, and share the love of
Christ with them. The people of Mexico really love to be prayed for as it’s often their
only hope of help. All of your mission team will get a chance to participate in these
ministries and will themselves be changed as well. Visiting people where they live is
the most authentic form to minister to them. It’s often a forgotten item in our busy,
hectic lives, but as someone has said, “You can impress people from a distance, but
you can only change them up close.” While serving in Mexico, you’ll return to this
time tested, Christ practiced, method of ministering to people.

Evangelism Outreaches
- Sunday Afternoon
- You’ll kick off your week of ministry on Sunday afternoon with an Evangelism
and Invitation time in the community in which the church you'll be serving at is
located. Your Mexican brothers and sisters in Christ (from the church you’ll be
serving at) will go with you to share in this time. You'll hand out Bible Tracts,
share the Gospel, and invite the community to the activities you'll be doing
during the week. Everyone from your group is invited to participate in this rich
time. We’ll divide your team into groups of 4-5 people per group. Each group
will be led by one or two of your Mexican brothers or sisters in Christ from
Mexico.
Prayer, Visitation & Evangelism Outreaches
- Monday - Thursday
- During the weekday mornings, from 9:00-12:00am, a couple groups (if your
group is larger more groups) consisting of about four or five people from your
mission team will go with one or two members of the church you’ll be serving
with to visit homes to pray for the people, get to know them, see how they live,
encourage them, and share Christ with them. Much of your prayers will involve
praying for sicknesses as medical treatment is expensive, poor in quality, and
as a result, God is often their only hope. During the week everyone from your
team should try to get the opportunity to participate in this special time.
- During your visit in the home, you will want to pray for them and their home. In
is customary to place your hands upon them while praying for them.
