About Our Partner
In October 2021, an Outreach team met with officers of the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico. The Rev. Adolfo Arias Job, President of the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico, and the Rev. Mark Mueller, Executive Director of Outreach, signed a Memorandum of Understanding as our agreement of how we can partner together.
The National Presbyterian Church of Mexico (INPM) has 6,000 churches and almost three million members. They are focused on church planting in the central and northern states of Mexico where there is a scarcity of evangelical churches in order to reach the next generation. One of the major challenges they face is how to best minister to the growing refugee population that exists along its northern and southern borders. One pastor who ministers in the southern state of Chiapas near the Guatemalan border now has in his household, in addition to his family, four children from his congregation whose parents are ill, and refugees from Nicaragua, Cuba, and Haiti – 16 people who gather around his table to eat. This pastor and his congregation want to extend this work by building a church that would include a kitchen and dining room to serve food and offer a place of rest for immigrants. The INPM also has a vision for using online tools to develop and distribute training curricula to assist pastoral staff in training lay leaders, Elders, and Deacons. Plans are in the works to convert an existing room in their offices in Mexico City into a multi-media studio.
The Impact
Gifts to this partnership help support church planting and outreach to the next generation and refugees.
The OPPORTUNITY
The Outreach Foundation is seeking gifts to support the mission and ministry of the Mexico Partnership. All gifts of any size are welcomed to help the congregations of the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico.
Visiting Our Friends and Partners in México
From the windswept high desert of Durango to the sweltering tropical Pacific coast lowlands of Colima, the Spirit of God is on the move in a mighty way in this predominantly Catholic country. Since 2021, The Outreach Foundation has partnered with the National Presbyterian Church of México (INPM) to advance the Gospel and mature disciples for Christ’s kingdom. The Presbyterian church is alive and thriving south of the border, with 8,000 congregations and over six million members.
