Meet Frank & Rebecca Arellanes

Long-term missionaries in Mexico, Frank and Rebecca have a heart for seeing God's will done throughout Mexico. They have planted several churches in and around Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara, and engage in discipleship and shepherding ministries with those churches.

Frank and Rebecca have built relationships through both individual mentorship and discipleship groups. Their goal isn't to do ministry in Mexico, but rather to train locals to do ministry and pastor churches.

For more information on their ministry, you can request to join their private Facebook group.
