About Us

Our Assignment

We are appointed by the Wesleyan Church of North America to serve as Global Partners
with the leadership of our host country, with a focus on theological education. We began in
1998 by studying Spanish in Costa Rica and then moved directly to Bogotá, Colombia for
our first term. In 2003 we were re-assigned for our second term to Mexico because of
political instability in Colombia. We live in Puebla, Mexico and teach there at the Pilgrim
Bible Institute (IBP stands for Instituto Bíblico Peregrino).

Our Purpose

We work in Mexico to raise up and train pastors and leaders, thus multiplying our
effectiveness through them as they in turn teach others and reach their country for Jesus
Christ. (2 Timothy 2:2)

Our Plan

1) To recruit and train new students to the Bible School and its extensions, teaching them
formally in Bible, theology, and practical ministry skills, while also discipling them
informally in their personal character and spiritual growth.
2) To develop existing pastors with little or no formal training through short-term classes,
seminars, and other training events in the Bible School extensions and national church.
3) To partner with the Mexico Pilgrim Wesleyan Church and its leadership to provide
resources, consultation, support, and communication with the North American Wesleyan
Church.
