About Spearhead

Over 17.6 million people in Mexico City have no personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Can you help?

Mexico City is not that far away…and needs people like you…

…with its street children washing windshields for a peso… with its countless green VW bugs…with its blaring music and crackling energy…with its multitude of souls needing a Savior… Mexico City is a great place to see if, maybe, God is calling you to go places you never thought you’d go…to say things you never knew you could say…to do things for Him you never dreamed you would…

Mop off your sweaty face after playing basketball with some gang members as you prepare to share a gospel tract. Split a bean taco and a conversation about Jesus with a raggedy street kid.  Swallow down your fear as you tap on the neighbor's door that proclaims, "Protestants and other sects not welcome." Explain the colors of your salvation bracelet to the portly woman in the subway with her umbrella on your foot.

Use newly-learned Spanish choruses to lead worship on Sunday mornings. Stand shaky-kneed at the front of a tin-roofed church to share your testimony. Watch God grow a small weekly Bible study into a spiritual drinking fountain for a roomful of youth. Be mentored by your visionary, young pastor.

Quickly differentiate pescado (fish) from pecado (sin). Witness firsthand the painful effects of a severe recession, joblessness, corruption and alcoholism. Feel your legs strain as you climb ancient pyramids. Furiously take notes as your Mexican instructor teaches you multiple verb tenses.

Sit with your silver-toothed mamá , trying to memorize scripture in Spanish and laughing until your face hurts. Take a bucket bath. Smile as your devotional time with your roommate is interrupted by the early morning whistle of a tamales cart in the street. Try grilled cactus, rice water and chicken's feet. Share a common cup of fears, failures and dreams with your questioning teenage brother.

Feel God use your roommate, as iron sharpens iron, to hone away some of your jagged edges. Scurry to escape a downpour before your team clown show gets drenched. Plan an evangelism workshop over a bowl of steaming avocado and tortilla soup. Pray together. Lots.
