Tuxpan, Nayarit, Mexico

Mission Objective Summary

M4M was invited to this region because of the success of a wonderful healing conference that took place in Tecuala Nayarit Mexico. The worship team at that healing conference loved the information shared and the success it brought and made an invitation to M4M to go and assist in their hometown of Tuxpan. This healing conference took place in June of 2023. Many healings, signs, and wonders took place at the healing conference. This region was ignited for Christ and some continue to practice and hear God’s voice in obedience where it has become a part of their Christian living. They are now seeing on a regular basis signs, wonders, miracles, and changed lives. They are waiting for M4M to return as they want more knowledge and impartation as M4M is able to give. The objective is to implement the 2-3 year plan to impact the area permanently by equipping pastors and church members which has begun.
