The Team

Joe and Amy Hendrigsman

Joe and Amy Hendrigsman are the team leaders of Mission of Grace in Oaxaca, Mexico. They have relocated to the town of Santa Maria Huatulco and have planted the Grace Baptist Church. They have begun to train Abraham and his wife Erica so that they can take over the church in the next year or so.  Their vision is to see churches planted, men and women trained for the ministry, Bibles translated and distributed, and the many hundreds of towns and villages reached with the Gospel.

Alizon Garcia Trejo

Alizon joined the Mission of Grace team in July of 2017. She faithfully served God at her home church in Acayuca Hidalgo. Alizon has a passion to teach kids and has a desire to see Christian schools started all over Mexico. Alizon heads up the children's ministries at the Grace Baptist Church in Santa Maria Huatulco. Lord willing, she will also start the Grace Christian School in the fall of 2018.

Mike and Liz Schorr

Mike and Liz Schorr are the leaders of the  Team Oaxaca prayer team. Team Oaxaca is a prayer and support group at our home church in Missouri. They lead the team and keep them informed of our progress and needs. Mike and Liz hold monthly prayer meetings with Team Oaxaca to pray as a group for the ministry.

Emily LaPat

Emily joined the Mission of Grace Oaxaca team in February 2019. Emily came to us from Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, Ohio. Emily graduated from the Biblical School of World Evangelism in May of 2018. It was through BSWE that Emily was introduced to Mission of Grace.  During her senior year, Emily did an 8 month internship in Oaxaca with the Mission of Grace team. After returning home in late April of 2018, God began to work in her heart about returning as a full time missionary. We are thrilled to have Emily as part of our team. Her duties include: working with our kid's programs, assisting in our Christian school, teaching English as a second language, and baking some wonderful desserts!
