National pastors. Church plants. An organized presbytery. A Christian school and Bible Institute. A StreetChild center. As one of MTW’s earliest and most established ministry sites, Acapulco is a city clearly impacted by MTW missionaries and the gospel. Nevertheless, the needs remain great. Though Acapulco is one of the biggest tourist destinations in Mexico, many families live in poverty, some even lacking the means to care for their own children.
Even though many know the name of Jesus in this primarily Roman Catholic city, few have a clear understanding of what it means to be saved by grace through faith. The Maranatha Presbytery, the Maranatha Bible Institute, the New Horizon Christian Elementary School, and MTW’s StreetChild ministry are all actively serving the needs of the community, in word and deed, training believers in the truth of the gospel.
