Global Outreach
The Chapel in Green’s purpose is to mobilize leadership and the congregation for their involvement in local and global ministries. Our highest priority is evangelism among unreached people in building the body of Christ. This will be accomplished using church resources, partnering with and supporting ministries, and prayer.
Yucatán, Mexico
Our partnership with Mission House
We partner with Mission House Partners International to spread the Gospel of Christ and help build the Kingdom of God in the Yucatán. Our vision is to plant 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 300-6,000 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.
The Work
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 palapa (small hut) where they can meet for Bible fellowships and work toward the beginning of a church. We also find tangible ways to help each community like 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.
The People
Through our partnership with Mission House, we help to support a growing team of village pastors who lead church services, visit homes on multiple days each week, and plan other special outreaches within their communities.
Trips
A short term trip to the Yucatan is a great way to gain exposure to the mission field. Each trip is intentional, Christ-focused, and serves to connect the body of Christ from The Chapel In Green to the body of Christ in Mexico. Reach out to apply or for more information on the requirements for joining one of these trips.
- Medical Trip (1 week, winter)
- Dental / Family Trip (1 week, summer)
- Student Trip (1 week, summer)
Support
Not quite ready to hop on a plane and head overseas? Not a problem. There are still so many ways you can be directly involved with our call to reach out. Consider financially supporting one of our short term teams or give directly to the church as we continue to grow our partnerships with our agencies and missionaries.
