Church Planting
Village Adoption
As Paradise Bound continues in our Lord’s calling upon us, we are excited to share our Village Adoption outreach with you. Strategically incorporating; Mission Teams, Village Impact, Village Wellness, Pastoral Training, and Church Planting, each outreach builds upon and spiritually strengthens the previous program in the remote villages we target (are called to). Mission Teams are generally the initial impact, with Village Adoption greatly multiplying that initial impact, bringing spiritual maturity and raising up national missionaries for generations to come.
With the words of Act 7:34 within our hearts; “Come now, I send you…”, PBM and the adopting US organization work together to bring each village into spiritual maturity over the course of a decade. Ultimately, as with any adoption, seeking to raise them up and then send them out “unto the uttermost,” mature in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Village Adoption fulfills PBM’s duel calling of 100% to those being ministered to and 100% to those our Lord calls to minister alongside us. Prospective adopting organizations should recognize that Village Adoption will likely impact their own organization as much as or more than the village being adopted. Embracing the village as part of their own organization or family, not simply an outreach of, is paramount to each adoption…not unlike adopting a child into a family. Sending financial resources to a village without Eternal goals is often detrimental. Relationships take time and effort, the goal of each; an everlasting or eternal relationship that can only occur in our Lord Himself and through His promises!
Villages Awaiting Adoption by a U.S. Organization
The Village of Los Lotes
The Village of Los Lotes
Unique facts about this village
They are babes in Christ but with much hunger as well. Many have lived in/experienced “the world,” and thus, sin and generational sin abounded. We are gaining traction in Los Lotes, but the enemy is very active as well. There is much work to do in Los Lotes, but they are very open to the Truth that sets them free!
The Village of La Bendicion
Unique facts about this village
La Bendicion is a primarily “Christian” village. That said, some have slipped back into legalism (prevalent throughout Latin America due to their religious roots). Unless it has recently changed, the village does not allow alcohol sales there, and limits Sunday activities, etc. They are prime for another influx of the Gospel, with much teaching/living out what a relationship with Christ means, rather than keeping of rules and regulations. We believe they can become a “sending” village for many years to come.

The Village of Cambalcol
The Village of Cambalcol
Unique facts about this village
Cambalcol is steeped in religion, so very law-based (generations back). They are very open to the Gospel when presented in Christ’s love. Discipleship and home visits are the best way to build a church in this village and are already underway. In early 2020, the majority of young men left for the U.S. to find work. This will affect the entire village in the years ahead as many families will come out of poverty (financially) but likely fall into greater poverty spiritually unless we urgently reach them with the true Gospel.

Testimony about this village
“We are excited to continue our relationship with La Reyna through PBM’s Village Adoption Program. We embrace La Reyna as part of the Hager Park Church family and look forward to growing together spiritually with them… God has called us to ‘Go, and make disciples of all nations….’ Matthew 28:19. Through PBM, we are eagerly responding to that call and to GO minister alongside His precious people in La Reyna!”
