San Vicente Ferrer is a small town in Mexico of roughly 2,000 people 120 miles south of the US/Mexico border. To the north are mountains and the south are flat plains dotted with fields and plantations
Wealthy ranch owners hire workers to cultivate these fields whose crops are imported to the US and allow them to live on the plantations. Some camps accommodate up to 3,000 people during peak harvest seasons. Since many workers are Native Indians who are minorities among the Mexicans, the government does not provide adequate housing or medical support for them. Subsequently, the demand for aid to these migrant farmers increases each year.
We came to know Max Hashbarger and his ministry and Rancho Santa Fe in 1993. Since then, we have come to learn of Mexico’s need for medical and dental care among the migrant farmers and their families along the countryside.
We have been going to the surrounding migrant farmers camps four times a year, brining the gospel to people who thirst for it. At camps such as Los Caballos and Triqui, we provide medical and dental aid to the needy, crafts and games to the children, and most of all, the love of God to people that yearn to be filled with the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are a group of caring individuals who bring hope and joy through the teachings of the Lord to others around the world. Some of the missionaries who reside in Mexico are described below.
Max Hashbarger: Max started Ranch Santa Fe in the early 1990s, and has continued to serve there as God’s disciple and attendant. He aids them in acquiring faith and skills, while teaching the gospel to the people
Rudy, Dioselina (Diosy), and Elisheva Lopez: Their dedication and courageousness have made themselves role-models in the community. For many years, they have been visiting labor camps, orphanages, and drug rehabilitation centers, to educate the masses about Christ Jesus through songs, Bible lessons, as well as feed the children a nourishing meal day after day.
