Mexican Medical Ministries

Amy Fuller first came to Mexico in 1994 on a youth group trip and has been hooked ever since, first returning several times on other teams from Sutherlin Family Church (Sutherlin, Oregon) and then serving many summers as an intern at Clínica La Esperanza. After graduating from the University of Oregon (Spanish major, Linguistics and Latin American Studies minors), Amy came on board full-time with Mexican Medical Ministries in January 2003.

While serving on a Caravan team to San Felipe in 1995 with Hope Church from Lenox, Massachusetts, Kristi was called to full-time ministry with Mexican Medical.

Craig joined the Mexican Medical family in January 2005, and now serves as vice president. 

As part of Mexican Medical’s Baja team, the Johnsons lived and ministered in San Vicente. San Vicente is 140 miles south of San Diego, CA. Even though it is not far in distance from the USA, life is very different. This community is mostly indigenous peoples who are originally from other parts of Mexico. Many are working in agriculture for one season, and then return to their homes.

Since 2007, Dr. Rita has served on staff at Hospital El Buen Pastor in San Quintín, Baja California, Mexico, where she was born and raised. Her work encompasses the hospital administration, the nursing school, family practice, and coordination for her father’s surgical patients. Ever since she was a young girl , Rita has been giving Bible classes at church and in her neighborhood, and is now assisted by her two girls.

The Trujillo’s main ministry involved establishing training programs in local churches and helping local Bible schools throughout Baja California. They sought to train people to be effective Bible teachers and help local churches fulfill their purpose of evangelism and making disciples. This was accomplished through the development of curriculum, writing books, teaching in schools and also in facilitating faculty from the U.S. and Mexico. They are establishing mini Bible schools in local churches.

As a missionary, Gerardo has learned a lot from the government doctors that come to serve once a week at the clinic, as well as from MMM. He has taken courses with the government doctors and is discovering what he enjoys. He appreciates that they have been willing to give everything, without expecting anything in return.

Carolina desires to serve in communities where there is need, with local churches being the means of connection to serve God. She will be monitoring and following up on the process of development and nutrition of groups of children who go to soup kitchens, as well as providing preventive medicine to young people and adults in neighborhoods of Cabo San Lucas working as a team with Dr. Avila and his wife Soledad.

The Hillikers recognize that God has been at work in the hearts and lives of the people in Mexico, and are thankful to be part of what He is already doing. Their primary ministry focus is nutrition, health education and assisting the local church. Their ongoing prayer is to be an encouragement and to help strengthen the church in the work they are doing to “GO” out and make disciples.
