Monterrey is a modern metropolitan city, the capital of the Nuevo León state in northeastern Mexico. Monterrey is a beautiful city located at the base of the scenic Sierra Madre mountain range. It serves as the commercial capital of northern Mexico, the second most industrial city in Mexico, and is the center of many significant international corporations. Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey, the number one university in all of Mexico, is located here, as well as the largest public university, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León.

Because of the location, residents will be actively involved in pioneering refugee and student ministries. Both Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey and Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL) are top choices for university education for young adults in Mexico, many of whom are hungry for something new that only the Gospel can provide. Residents will be engaging the vibrant next generation of engineers, architects, artists, and business people with the message of Christ. They will have many opportunities to connect with and serve alongside our ministry partners in the city and across the country.

Currently, over half a million refugees and asylum seekers live in Mexico, with a majority living in downtown Monterrey. Residents and students will also serve the families and children in these refugee communities, learning adaptive and creative ways to incarnate Christ as they share the Gospel message through word and deed. Alongside our ministry partners at the US-Mexico border in the north and the Mexico-Guatemala border in the south, residents will be actively involved in addressing border issues and injustices as they serve.
