Christian Missions With a Purpose
Christian Missionaries - Greg, Ana & Cristi Nemer
This past Sunday I ministered in Takiukim, Chenalho. Its is a remote Tzotzil Indian village located deep in the mountains of Chiapas.
The people here are very poor. There are no modern facilities. Dirt floors and huts are common. Outhouses are very primitive. [Read more...]
Last week Jeff and Dustin Edwards Visited us. Our group also consisted of Edwin and Antonio, who are a couple of young men that I am discipling. We went Tzalchen where we the Indians are building a church. We picked up heavy concrete that were the remnants of the old church building. The Tzotzil Indians have made rapid progress on this building.
Apostle Mariano’s wife is the Pastor of this growing church. [Read more...]
As missionaries, are we meeting the greatest needs of those we are ministering to?
This is a constant concern and the effectiveness of any missionary that you are considering support should be at the forefront of your thoughts. As a missionary , I have seen effective missionaries and I have seen uneffective missionaries. There are those who go full speed ahead and there are thos who are just lazy. I am not saying that we are any better than any other person. Our goal is simply to become more effective in the activities, methods and services that we perform on the field.
Here’s how we are addressing the needs of the Mexican people:
CHURCH PLANTING
This is our #1 Priority. The goal of raising up new indigenous churches and filling them with disciples for Christ is God’s passion. In Jalisco we left behind 3 church plants and now with the birth of Unanimous Ministries here in Chiapas we continue with this goal in a more effective manner.
EQUIPPING SERVANT LEADERS• We are training up new leaders on a daily basis
ASSISTING THE POOR
Jesus said that whatever you have done for the least of these (the poor…, the sick…, the children) you have done for me. We are ministering to these needs by going to the poorest regions of Latin America.
CARING FOR THE SICK
Constant medical teams visits from other countries and parts of Mexico enable us to minister to disease, sickness, dental, and more medical issues.
EDUCATING THE NEXT GENERATION- CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Jesus tells us that children are his heartbeat and that we should not despise them. On a weekly basis we are meeting poor children’s needs through meals and Biblical education.
Have a great day!

Rick Warren and Purpose Driven Life Hope To Help Catholic Churches Grow
“[Rick Warren] and his Purpose Driven staff know that mainline Protestant, and especially Catholic, churches have been slow to warm to the message readily picked up by more evangelical congregations. They hope that a three-day conference at Holy Family Catholic Church … will change that.” Read entire article.
