Mission

In the beginning Middleman began its ministries, focused to help people in Mexico to be dependent upon God and themselves. We worked in Mexico with the very poor who actually goes thru trash to make their living by recycling tin, glass, cardboard, and anything else that is recyclable.  Although the city dump has been closed since we began Middleman, we never want to forget our beginnings.

                                    

The city dump has now been replaced by the squatter's camp.  This camp is a large field that has been invaded by hundreds of poor people that come to Mexico with the hope of finding employment.  They have nothing to go back to so they settle in Matamoros.  These squatter's come to this field with the hopes of purchasing a small piece of land.  Middleman preaches and teaches the word of God to these people.  As God provides they receive clothes, food and God's word with many coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

                                                                    

Middleman has always built homes for people through the generosity of various groups who come to Mexico to bless a family with a new home. 

We have also opened a school to educate adults.  Many of the people do not have a formal education. These classes give them the opportunity to receive a sound education offering 1st thru 8th  grade curriculum . In addition we offer a trade school teaching specializing in  beauty shop, sewing, bakery, and computer classes for those 13 years of age and above.  Middleman works with the Mexican government who send certified teachers to teach these classes. We provide the building and supplies for this education. Much like in the states once they complete a 9-month class the student receives their certification of graduation. This educational project is changing the lives of so many. 

                                                                                           


 Middleman has also been blessed with a church on the ministry property bringing the word of God and planting seeds. Many of the people attending church services are receiving the gift of salvation, becoming believers in Christ. They are also being taught how to live their lives as Christians with sound Biblical teachings instilling principles and morals that are sometimes lacking. They are taught how God can use them, making them vessels to disciple others for Christ.  The name of the church and school properties are called "Manos del Alfarero" which means in English "Hands of the Potter." This name came about as Rosie (Ministry Director) began to seek in prayer what God wished to name the property. The Holy Spirit began to speak saying "that they would be molding and transforming lives not only through salvation in Christ, but also through the school of education." "The Lord is the Potter and we are the clay," impressed upon by the Holy Spirit.

                                                  
                              
      
Rosie had a similar experience in naming the ministry. Once again she sought guidance from God with the Lord saying name it "Middleman Ministries." Rosie then asked why "Middleman" God. God replied, "My Son was the middleman for you and now you are to be the middleman to those who do not know Him."
