THIRD GENERATION MISSIONARIES TO MEXICO

MISSIONS BEYOND AVIATION

Take a Missions Trip:

A missions trip to a foreign country is one of the greatest ways to expand your world-view. It will open your eyes like never before to other people’s needs and is the best way to look beyond your world and give of yourself to others. You truly can start to see the great need for the Gospel throughout the whole earth and how to better pray for missionaries.

        A foreign missions trip anywhere would be beneficial, but we know the most about Banner of Faith Ministries- the ministry in which Ethan grew up. God has blessed Ethan’s parents, Rick and Robin Shields, with an incredible work located in the mountains of northeastern Mexico. In the last thirty years, God has used them to start a Bible Institute, a Christian day school, a Christian camp & conference center, and most importantly, multiple churches. They are a short five hour trip through the desert and mountains from McAllen, TX and love to be visited by people willing to work. Construction projects, VBS, preaching -there are many ways to get involved in this ministry if you should decide to go. Speaking Spanish is a plus, but is not required. If you would like more information about planning a missions trip to Mexico to assist Banner of Faith Ministries, please contact Rick Shields through the information provided here.

Visit Us:

We would love to have you come visit us once we are on the field. Because of the special nature of our ministry, we will only be able to accommodate small groups. With having only four seats in the airplane, large groups would require too many flights to take everyone out to the villages. We eventually would like to do special evangelistic conferences, medical and dental brigades, and work in the prison in Molango. Of course, since we will be just beginning the ministry, there will be plenty of construction jobs to do as well. We praise the Lord for the progress on the airplane and look forward to getting to Mexico as soon as it is finished.
