Student
Ministry
The
MVM is also a Christian home which offers room/board to 10-15
students who come from remote villages to pursue a high school
and/or university degree in the town of Atlacomulco. Some of them
are only 15 years old when they come to live with us and have never
before left their families or villages. We try to help them adjust
to their new environment by providing mentoring and tutoring and in
their spiritual journey through Bible studies, and retreats. Besides
these students, the MVM also provides scholarships to 10 students
attending schools outside of Atlacomulco.

Mazahua
Valley Bible Institute
Mazahua
Valley Bible Institute is an interdenominational Bible institute
founded by Mazahua pastors to train lay leaders and pastors for
service in their communities or as missionaries. It was begun with
the backing of churches from the Assemblies of God in Mexico City.
Now, the majority of the teachers are graduates of the same
institution such as Samuel Eugenio [staff].
We are also proud of the many female graduates, such as Samuel's
wife, Eva, who are also very important to the ministry and growth of
the church. Tacho and Samuel have been very active as teachers at
the Bible institute which has allowed us the opportunity to see the
students grow in knowledge and spiritually. The MVM provides 8
students with scholarships.

COMMUNITY
SERVICE
Vida
Digna Outreach Program
Vida
Digna, which literally means "living with dignity",
is a community program aimed at drawing in and reaching out to our
surrounding community with the love of Christ. We believe that as
children of God, made in His image, we should all be treated equally
and enjoy the same opportunities to excel in life. Vida Digna
provides that opportunity through a sewing workshop, English
classes, children's library (El Cuento), computer lab with internet,
and reaching out to those with physical and emotional needs. As
Christians, our Gospel message should not only be proclaimed with
words, but also through our actions. As James wrote, "In
the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action,
is dead. But someone
will say, 'You have faith; I have deeds.' Show me your faith without
deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do." (James
2:17-18)

CAMPING
AND RETREAT MINISTRY
Camping
and Christian Retreat Center
Besides housing students;
the MVM also serves as a retreat center for
local churches. Therefore, we have laid the foundations for four
large dormitories which would accommodate a total of 40 campers with
the possibility of expanding the project to include more dormitory
space and bathrooms in the future.
