Serving Mexico Since 1984

Founders • Church Planters • Heart4Mexico • Nana’s House

For more than four decades, Dwight and Mary Jo Hansen have dedicated their lives to helping people encounter Jesus Christ and experience the transforming power of His presence. What began with a simple “yes” to God’s call has grown into a family of churches, children’s ministries, prison outreach, leadership development, mission teams, and Nana’s House—each one bringing hope to communities throughout western Mexico.

Their passion has always been simple: plant healthy churches, raise up leaders, care for the vulnerable, and see lives transformed through the Gospel.

A Lifetime of Ministry

When we first arrived in Mexico, we never imagined where God’s faithfulness would lead. Over the years, He has allowed us to help plant churches, disciple leaders, care for children, minister in prisons, and welcome mission teams from around the world.

Everything we do is built on one conviction:

The local church is God’s primary instrument for transforming lives, families, and communities.

Whether through church planting, Nana’s House, leadership development, prison ministry, or mission teams, our desire is the same—to see people encounter Jesus, become lifelong disciples, and carry His presence into their own communities.

Our Books

Teaching Beyond Mexico

One of the unexpected blessings of ministry has been the opportunity to share what God has taught us through writing. These books have encouraged pastors, missionaries, church leaders, and believers around the world to pursue a deeper relationship with Christ and a greater passion for His Kingdom.

Each book was born out of real ministry—real people, real struggles, and countless moments of God’s faithfulness. Our prayer is that these resources will strengthen your faith, deepen your walk with Christ, and inspire you to live fully for His purposes.
