MISSION MAZAHUA NEEDS
YOUR HELP!
Mission Mazahua is located approximately 60 miles northwest of
Mexico City, in the central highlands of Mexico. The central
emphasis at the mission is upon a strategy known as “wholistic
transformation.” The goal of the mission is to address the needs of
the whole person by seeking to touch the social, physical, mental,
and emotional needs of a person’s life. All of this is done in the
love and compassion of Jesus Christ.
The Hacienda of Tepetitlan is
the home of the mission. During August of 1998, Rev. Norberto
Cortes, director of the mission, signed a contract and made the down
payment for Las Rosas. The Las Rosas Center is a building located
on a six-acre plot just a half-mile from the hacienda. It currently
houses a Christian school, which offers education for teenage
students, a high-temperature ceramics shop, a stained glass shop,
and other industries that support the mission ministries.
Presently, there is a $14,000
debt remaining on the Las Rosas mortgage. This is putting a
financial strain on the mission. Lisa and Norberto Cortes would
like to pay off the debt and move forward with the work of the
mission.
All of the ministries of
Mission Mazahua are important! We ask that you pray about helping
to retire the debt for the Las Rosas property. Your financial
support for the ongoing ministries at Mission Mazahua is greatly
appreciated. Please consider making an additional one-time
gift or monthly donation towards the retirement of this debt.
Please make checks payable to
The Missionary Society and designated to Mazahua Debt Relief.
