The Hancocks crossed the border in 2008 to begin learning Spanish and served
as a part of CMF's church-planting team in the state of Mexico since 2009. Their primary ministry consisted of mentoring,
teaching, and encouraging both believers and newcomers to be involved in and grow through small groups ministry in Mexico's
churches.
Casey and Teri began helping God start a new church
in Huehuetoca in 2009. Huehuetoca is a community in the northern part of the State of Mexico just outside the greater
metropolitan area of Mexico City. The King of Kings Christian Church has been established as a strong, growing
group of believers who have joined in the work of tranforming their community and the lives of their friends,
family, and neighbors with the power of the good news of Jesus Christ.
In June of 2012 Casey and Teri and their family returned
to the U.S. for furlough. Their vision for the future of their ministry is to recruit new partners who will help in
the ministry of continuing to raise up new churches on the northern edge of Mexico City.
The Hancocks have been given a wonderful opportunity to join
in the work that God prepared in advance as He planned a new church in Huehuetoca. A great work like this could only
be accomplished as we remain faithful to God in prayer, sacrificial giving, testimony, and commitment to the ministry and
Word of God. Please join us in praying that the work of raising up new churches in Mexico (and beyond) will
proceed without hindrance or limitation.
Why Mexico?
Casey: 'We were in a taxi riding to the Imigration offices for our appointment. We had been talking about how we grew up.
I was young when my parents divorced. His parents both died at 50. I saw the faith of my family grow through difficulty. He
grew up catholic but barely involved. He confessed that the Bible's profesies of the end times was scary and he had avoided
reading the Bible because of it.
Traffic was packed but had only slowed to a trickle not a stop when I asked Manuel, our driver, an important question.
"Can you tell me how you believe we get to heaven?"
The answer serves to remind all followers of Christ that we should be both followers of Christ and fishers of men. Manuel
responded, "I don't know what to tell you."
God called the Hancock family to join the work of starting new churches in Mexico to give hope of eternal life to people
like Manuel.
