Workers for Mexico Mission — Organization Profile
Workers for Mexico Mission is a Christian mission organization focused on taking the gospel of Christ to the people of Mexico through national evangelists, church planting, and benevolent ministry. The ministry describes its work as a loving outreach that includes evangelism, preacher training, children’s ministry, camps, clinics, feeding programs, construction, maintenance, student homes, and support for Christian education.
The organization is based in Grayson, Kentucky, and serves throughout Mexico. Workers for Mexico traces its roots to the ministry of Clinton Looney, who began missionary work in Mexico in 1961. In 1996, Looney began turning mission functions over to Mexican leaders in key cities and asked Francis Nash and Pam Nash to serve as stateside director and forwarding agents so the work could continue and expand into new areas.
Workers for Mexico operates by supporting Mexican ministers and evangelists in churches across multiple states of Mexico. Its website describes support for more than 50 ministers in churches in 13 Mexican states, along with benevolent works connected to children, students, churches, and communities. The ministry emphasizes the role of national workers and local congregations rather than building its work around U.S.-based personnel.
The ministry’s program areas include Con Mis Manos Deaf School and Center, camps, feeding programs, a medical clinic, student homes, Mexican Christian University in Querétaro, extension and correspondence courses, and construction projects. Current and past construction needs listed by the ministry include church buildings, classroom space, repairs, sanctuaries, parsonage work, and recreation areas in communities such as Nuevo Laredo, Monclova, Matamoros, Reynosa, Guadalajara, Saltillo, Monterrey, Apodaca, and Veracruz.
Short-term worker teams may also participate in the mission’s work in Mexico, especially through construction, children’s ministry, and special church programs. Workers for Mexico notes that Spanish-language ability is helpful for team members and that skilled laborers are needed to lead and supervise construction projects. The ministry asks interested churches to contact the office for trip details and scheduling information.
People can engage with Workers for Mexico Mission by praying, giving, supporting a minister, adopting a church or individual through monthly support, helping with construction needs, donating toward vehicles for ministers, sending short-term worker teams, or requesting information for a church mission committee. The ministry states that designated gifts go to the Mexico mission field, national workers, missionaries, or mission efforts selected by donors.
