YUCATAN OUTREACH Yucatan Outreach The Chapel partners with Mission House Partners International in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, to spread the Gospel of Christ and help build the Kingdom of God. Our vision is to plant 14 or more churches among the Mayan people in rural villages in the middle of the peninsula. The Village of Ichmul is our training and launching place to go out to other villages with anywhere between 300 to 400 and 6,000 people. Here, the people have a syncretic religion that combines Catholicism and animism – a traditional Mayan belief that natural objects, natural phenomena, and even the universe itself possess souls. Our mission is to lead people to BELIEVE in Jesus, BELONG to a family (the church), BECOME a disciple of Christ, and BUILD the Kingdom of God. Our church-planting strategy starts with finding a family or ‘man of peace’ who can open the door for simple evangelistic outreaches in the community. As the people develop a desire to seek Jesus, we help them to purchase land and build a small hut (palapa in Spanish) where they can meet for Bible Fellowships and work toward the beginning of a church. We also find tangible ways to help each community – by digging a well, building an activity center or meeting another need. As each community grows and holds consistent gatherings, we help them to build a stronger structure for a church. YUCATAN OUTREACH

Yucatan OutreachThe Chapel partners with Mission House Partners

International in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, to spread

the Gospel of Christ and help build the Kingdom of

God. Our vision is to plant 14 or more churches among

the Mayan people in rural villages in the middle of the

peninsula. The Village of Ichmul is our training and

launching place to go out to other villages with anywhere

between 300 to 400 and 6,000 people. Here, the people

have a syncretic religion that combines Catholicism and

animism – a traditional Mayan belief that natural objects,

natural phenomena, and even the universe itself possess

souls. Our mission is to lead people to BELIEVE in Jesus,

BELONG to a family (the church), BECOME a disciple of

Christ, and BUILD the Kingdom of God.

Our church-planting strategy starts with finding a family

or ‘man of peace’ who can open the door for simple

evangelistic outreaches in the community. As the people

develop a desire to seek Jesus, we help them to purchase

land and build a small hut (palapa in Spanish) where

they can meet for Bible Fellowships and work toward the

beginning of a church. We also find tangible ways to help

each community – by digging a well, building an activity

center or meeting another need. As each community

grows and holds consistent gatherings, we help them to

build a stronger structure for a church.

Y U C A T A N O U T R E A C H

Yucatan village pastors lead church services, visit homes on

multiple days each week and plan other special outreaches.

Please pray that God would raise up more pastors and lead the

church in the Yucatan. Also pray that God would strengthen

these leaders to minister to the needs of their communities and

to proclaim the truth of the Gospel of Christ, boldly and clearly.
