The main goal of Global Frontier Missions in Oaxaca is to plant churches among indigenous people groups who still have not heard the Gospel. The Bible says that people from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation will be standing before the throne of God worshipping Him (Rev. 7:9,10). But how can these people worship God if they have never heard the truth about Him? And how can they hear about Him, if no one goes to them (Rom. 10:14,15)? We desire to hear the precious sound in heaven of people from every tribe, praising the Lord in their native language.

We are trying to do our part in seeing this dream accomplished by church planting in the village of Yucuane. There is currently not a single believer in this village. Church planting in closed areas is a long-process because the people's hearts are so hard to the Gospel. Evangelism is always done on a relationship basis. In order to make friendships with the people, we often teach English, talk with the people in the market as they buy or sell goods, provide medical clinics, and offer children's programs with clowns, puppets, songs, and crafts.  Presently, we are doing a weekly English class in Yucuane.  We are also trying to visit and get to know the people of the village. The people are now beginning to expect us each week and are slowly starting to open up to us. We are praying that very soon we would be able to start a Bible study there.

At this time, we are also working in the village of Tataltepec. They have a small body of struggling believers. We are leading them through a discipleship course with the desire of seeing all of them strengthened in the Word. In order to draw more people into the church, we are also doing children's programs, evangelical movies, and English classes. We hope that this church will eventually become self-sufficient with an indigenous pastor.

Short term mission trips also help us to fulfill our vision of reaching the unreached.  These youth, teen, college, adult, group and medical missions teams help to open doors by providing for the physical and spiritual needs of the people in the villages where we are working. Construction and medical teams have also gone with us into various villages. When people come on a short-term trip they not only bring a blessing to a village, but they also receive an amazing blessing from their time in Oaxaca.

We have also started an indigenous Bible school at our missions training center in Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca. The focus is on raising up indigenous leaders and pastors within the region to reach their own people and the surrounding villages. The school includes Biblical teachings on the Old Testament, New Testament, Prayer, Praise and Worship, Leadership, Fundamentals of the Faith, and the Church.  There will also be time for personal devotions, small groups, and discipleship.  

We now have a Mission Training School dedicated to raising up laborers for the end time harvest. It is a one-year program and includes teachings on Old and New Testament Survey, prayer, spiritual warfare, missions, cultural adaptation, language learning, community health, teaching ESL, tentmaking, etc. Upon completion of the school, students are eligible to receive an Associate's Degree in Biblical Studies from Vision University and can be licensed through the Commission Ministers Network.

We would love for you to partner with us and be a part of what the Lord is doing here in Oaxaca. Please consider praying for this minister, getting involved financially, or coming down to work with us on a short or long-term basis.
