Spearhead is a program where young adults work in partnership with local Mexican churches and ministres. They receive intensive Spanish language training and cultural orientation to prepare them for their ministry which may include church based ministry, youth work, children's ministry, neighborhood evangelism, sports outreach or other ministry areas. All Spearhead volunteers live with Mexican families during their time of service which is from 2 - 14 months.

Although, Mexico is a religious country - problems such as corruption run rampant. Synergism has affected the Catholic church and weakened the proclamation of Jesus Christ. Poverty affects all aspects of life and a huge youth population adds its own challenges.

Pray with us for Mexico City!
