Grant Haynes
Prepping People for the Mission Field
Join Collin this week as he talks with Grant Haynes. Grant spent 14 years in Mexico with his family church planting among unreached people groups, hosting short-term mission trips, running an indigenous Bible school and starting a missionary training school. Now, he works among refugees in Georgia and prepares others to head to the field. Hear his powerful story this weekend on Missions Today!
“I think accountability is a good thing. We knew having a covering was a good thing. Having people praying and encouraging us was a good thing. On the practical side, people want a tax write off by giving to a nonprofit organization. Our churches helped us get the 501c3 up and running and we thought it would just be my wife and I. We almost called it Oaxaca frontier mission thinking it would be the two of us in the mountains of Mexico. It’s gone far beyond what we thought it would be, with locations in three different countries. We’ve been able to train 500 missionaries over the past 20 years. It’s been a blessing to hopefully help them avoid all the mistakes that we made on mission and get them prepared for serving the world in some of the hardest places to take the gospel.”
