Bill and Lydia Allshouse

Bill: The Lord spoke to my heart during a missions conference and told me, “It’s not your ability that I need, it’s your availability. And if you’ll say yes to Me, I want to use you in a special way.” That started me down a road of following Him step by step in faith. Together, Lydia and I found a peace in trusting the Lord to guide us even if we weren’t sure where He was leading.

Lydia: I grew up on the mission field, seeing firsthand God’s love for people and my parents living out that love. Christ commands us to go to the nations, to teach, and to make disciples. He gave His all. What if we give our all?

He led us to Mexico, and that peace is what has kept us here through the challenges and blessings of ministry. We have been called to go beyond the borders to take Christ’s love to the people of Mexico. So many haven’t heard that Christ loves them! They haven’t heard that He died to take away their sins, to give them life, and to redeem them, and that He desires to have a personal relationship with them. How will they know unless someone loves them and tells them about Him? Christ compels us to go and tell.
