History
La Fuente Ministries (Spanish for “The Fountain”) was launched 7 years ago by Pastor Dwight and Mary Jo Hansen and a small team that came with them from Mazatlán Mexico where they had worked for 10 years. Pastor Dwight and Mary Jo received the calling to become missionaries to Mexico more than 17 years ago. After planting 6 Chruches in the Mazatlan area they came to Tepic, Mexico to plant the church now known as “La Fuente”. What was a popular dance hall now holds 750 active members. Over the last seven years, more than 26 pastors and leaders have joined the La Fuente team, creating a diverse staff from Americans, Mexicans, and even a Norwegian.
Our ministry focus at La Fuente is evangelism and church planting in key cities. Our church planting goals embrace: The Great Commission, training believers to participate in our church plants, using creativity that effectively reaches this generation, and working in Mercy Ministries that reach out to the needy, widows, orphans, sick and imprisoned.
La Fuente Ministries has been successful in providing a place of refuge for the people throughout the city of Tepic. With three mission church plants, the message of Jesus Christ has been rapidly spreading throughout the city even reaching small surrounding villages.
