Ron started the Hands to the Work ministry in 2021. It was born out of a need that many Mexican churches, church planters and missionaries have, because they don’t have the resources to build, add-on or repair their church buildings and facilities.
The wonderful part is that Mexican churches ARE starting churches and sending missionaries! The church planters are following the call of God on their lives, but are barely making ends meet, in part because there aren’t enough churches to support them!
The Hands to the Work ministry helps alleviate the financial strains of the sending churches and church planters to build and furnish their church buildings and pastor’s houses. We also need church vans and musical instruments.
Every other month on average, we take 5-6 tons of church pews, building supplies, pianos, tables, chairs, Bibles and tracts, etc. across the Mexican border and distribute them to churches all across Mexico.
By coordinating the surplus resources that many American churches, ministries, businesses and individuals have, with the need of Mexican churches and pastors, it can save them years to achieve their physical needs and goals.
By getting their facilities more respectable, it gives them credibility in the community in which they serve because they will appear to be more permanent.
Another valuable aspect of this ministry is the encouragement to the pastors, knowing that they are not bearing all of these physical burdens alone
Probably the most valuable aspect of this ministry is that it enables pastors to dedicate more time to preaching the gospel, winning souls to Christ, discipling and training converts and starting more churches!
