About SpearheadOver 28 Million people in Mexico City have no personal relationship with Jesus Christ. What do you want to do about it?

The City Awaits
With its street children washing windshields on the corner for a peso. With its oceans of green VW taxis and paint splattered billboards. With it's blaring music and crackling energy. And with it's vast multitude of souls, hungry for a Savior. God may be calling you to go places you never thought you'd go. To say things you never dreamed of saying, to do things you never imagined you would. Don't ignore the challenge.

Are you up to the Challenge?

Break down walls
Mop off your sweaty face after playing basketball with some gang members as you prepare to share a gospel tract. Split a bean taco and a conversation about Jesus with a raggedy street kid. Swallow down your fear as you tap on the neighbor's door that proclaims, "Protestants and other sects not welcome." Explain the colors of your salvation bracelet to the portly woman in the subway with her umbrella on your foot.

Minister with a local church
Use newly-learned Spanish choruses to lead worship on Sunday mornings. Stand shaky-kneed at the front of a tin-roofed church to share your testimony. Watch God grow a small weekly Bible study into a spiritual drinking fountain for a roomful of youth. Be mentored by your visionary, young pastor.

Quickly differentiate pescado (fish) from pecado (sin). Witness firsthand the painful effects of a severe recession, joblessness, corruption and alcoholism. Feel your legs strain as you climb ancient pyramids. Furiously take notes as your Mexican instructor teaches you multiple verb tenses.

Live with a Mexican family
Sit with your silver-toothed mamá , trying to memorize scripture in Spanish and laughing until your face hurts. Take a bucket bath. Smile as your devotional time with your roommate is interrupted by the early morning whistle of a tamales cart in the street. Try grilled cactus, rice water and chicken's feet. Share a common cup of fears, failures and dreams with your questioning teenage brother.

Get involved
LAM values the integrity of a comprehensive application process wherein a candidate's individual call is confirmed by scripture and the wise counsel of leadership. What does that mean for a potential Spearheader? It means the components of the application process help us to get to know candidates and vice-versa. It also means we address the needs of the whole person. We evaluate the spiritual, physical, psychological, emotional, mental, social, familial and social aspects of candidates.
