Missions - Mendez Family

Getting to know La Familia Méndez
 

Danny Méndez

Having been born in the US and having parents from Costa Rica has given Danny a unique perspective on life in the United States for immigrant families from Latin America. Danny’s dad is a Medical Missionary who came to the US to start Spanish-speaking churches in Latino communities.

Danny felt called by God to prepare for the ministry and attended the Moody Bible Institute where he studied Bible Theology. In July of 1999, Danny and his wife Sarah moved to Denver to help start a Spanish church with the Rocky Mountain Baptist Conference. This experience grew Danny’s passion for church planting among Latinos and gave him experience in the joys and trials of starting new churches. Currently Danny is serving as Lead Church Planter for a new Spanish work in Loveland, CO. Danny enjoys playing the guitar and spending time with his family.  

Sarah Méndez 

Sarah was born in Grand Rapids, MN raised in a Christian home and growing up attended Grace Bible Chapel. During her      high-school years she began to sense God calling her toward cross-cultural urban ministries. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, she returned to Grand Rapids to serve as a youth intern at Grace. It was there that she came to know and love Danny and they were soon married. While Sarah believes her top ministry priority to be that of wife and mother, she shares Danny’s passion for church planting and finds great fulfillment in being his ministry partner.   

Annie & Lexie Méndez

Were you to drop by the Méndez home on any given day, you would be likely to find our twin daughters plunking out a tune on the piano, singing at the top of their lungs and running, jumping and doing headstands and flips. There would probably be forts built out of blankets, towels and pillows set up in their room providing shelter for all of their precious babies. Those precious babies include but are not limited to dolls, stuffed animals and most recently 8 multi-colored water    balloons.     Annie and Lexie are imaginative and creative nine-year-olds and delight in the wonder of each day. They are truly a double blessing.
