CMF - GREG AND VICKI SYVERSONS
MISSIONARIES TO PACHUCA, MEXICO
Greg and Vicki and our CMF global missions teams around the world do ministry in a wide variety of countries, using different approaches and strategies, all working toward the goal of transforming lives and communities. They are the hands and feet of Jesus, and do the grassroots work of transformation one day, one community, one person at a time. Your partnership with Greg and Vicki makes it possible for dynamic Christ-centered communities to be created in Mexico with the potential to transform the world.
Greg and Vicki have lived and ministered in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico (a city of 1.5 million), since 2002. They began by working alongside a local church to reach out into an impoverished community. In 2009 they planted Iglesia Cristiana Nueva Vida (New Life Christian Church) in that community, working together with a team of national leaders. They started with 14 people on their first Sunday and have grown to 130 regularly attending on Sundays, with more attending in their weekly cell groups that meet in homes. Greg and Vicki felt God leading them toward a strong emphasis on prayer, and through the power of prayer have seen God do amazing things in the church and community. The members are active in outreach and serving. Lives are being changed, people are being healed and set free from addictions and the bondage of sin. Young people are being trained and sent out to other countries as missionaries. Several new leaders are being trained to lead cell groups and other outreach ministries. The church is continuing to grow and is working on expanding the current meeting space.
In August 2013, New Life Christian Church was turned over completely to national leadership. Now, Greg and Vicki are preparing to return to Pachuca in mid-2014 to train more leaders to plant additional churches in and around Pachuca, as well as other parts of Mexico.
