Mexico: Unidos en Mision México
| Mexico is a country that has received North American missionaries for generations. These missionaries have shared the Gospel, planted churches, equipped leaders, and served in holistic ministries that have encouraged and inspired our Mexican brothers and sisters to know and follow Jesus and participate in the Great Commission. Mexican host families and churches that had received missionary interns through UWM’s Avance Program (formerly known as Spearhead) over the past 50 years expressed their desire to serve in missions, and there are not enough Mexican sending agencies to respond to the growing number of Latino men and women who desire to participate in the Great Commission.
UWM responded by opening a sending office in Mexico City in 2018 called “Unidos en Mision Mexico” to mobilize, equip and send Mexican missionaries to the nations. There are cultural and strategic advantages to sending Mexican missionaries to places that are hard-to-reach for Americans, and God is raising up the church in Mexico to participate in the Great Commission! The vision of Unidos en Mision is to see Mexican missionaries serving in unity with local leaders to make disciples of Jesus in the world’s least reached communities. The mission of Unidos is to mobilize and send Mexican missionaries in partnership with the local church and to support Mexican ministry leaders serving among least-reached peoples. Unidos provides prayer for the nations, missions forums and courses, short-term missions trips, spiritual formation, support-raising training, cross-cultural survival courses, member care, and a legal and administrative structure to support the growing number of Mexican missionaries to serve around the world in partnership with their local churches and receiving field ministries. These Mexican missionaries are sharing the Gospel through word and deed, planting churches, equipping leaders, and serving in holistic ministries within Latin America and to the ends of the earth, many in restricted access contexts for North American missionaries. Support Unidos en Mision Mexico and be a part of sending the growing wave of Mexican missionaries to the nations!
