Andy and Aida Weaver

Missionaries to the Prisoners and Sick in Latin America

OUR VISION, MISSION, AND BELIEFS

​Our Vision

We want to see transformed disciples who are multiplying disciples for the Lord Jesus Christ from those who have been considered to be the rejects of society, such as prisoners, drug addicts, alcoholics, and their families.



Our Mission

We minister in the prisons, jails, hospitals, and drug and alcohol rehab centers.  We also have home Bible studies for the prisoners' families and for the families of those who have been patients in the hospital.

 

Our Beliefs

  • We believe that salvation can only be obtained by receiving Jesus Christ as the absolute Lord of your life.  This means repentance from a life directed by self into a life directed by the Holy Spirit.

  • We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

  • We believe that all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for us today.

  • We believe that Jesus Christ not only paid the price for our sins on the cross, but for our infirmities as well.  We believe that divine healing is for us today.

  • We believe in a literal hell and that the only way to escape it is through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not in good works.  However, we believe that a true Christian automatically produces good works and does not lead a wicked lifestyle.

  • We believe that although not every Christian is called into the five-fold ministry, that every true Christian is a minister of the Gospel.  The Bible does not teach a separation of "clergy and laity" nor "ministry and laity" in the New Testament church.  The job of the five-fold ministry is to equip the believers to do the work of the ministry.

  • We believe that the Great Commission is to make disciples of all nations, not to build church buildings and fill them up.  We believe that success in ministry is better measured by how many disciples we are making rather than how many people are attending our services or how many "decisions" we receive in our meetings.

In the above photo Andy is singing Gospel music in Spanish in the Antigua, Guatemala jail.  Andy went to language school there for six months before moving to Mexico. He has also ministered in prisons and jails in other Central American countries such as El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. As he does now in Mexico, he has ministered in song in all of the countries where he has done prison ministry.  This includes the United States, where he received God's call to be a missionary to the prisoners in Latin America while living in San Angelo, Texas. When he had a good paying job as a computer programmer there, he ministered in the Eden, Texas federal detention center once a week singing in Spanish, although he didn't speak the lanugage yet.  In this prison 86% of the inmates were from Mexico, which is what motivated him to do prison ministry in Mexico.  Because he sings in Spanish using Mexican style sound tracks, Mexicans call him "El Charro Blanco" (the white Mexican cowboy).

​Latest project

Andy has a strong desire to do even more for ex-prisoners.  He has seen that simply attending services in a church building falls very short of the discipleship that ex-prisoners need, since so many of them return to prison. What these men really need is to be with a group of men who have experienced similar problems, but are now serving the Lord.  Therefore, he is now launching discipleship groups for ex-prisoners and for their families. Please pray for the success of this project!  

 

A Testimony

A well known drug dealer in Aguascalientes gave his life to the Lord in one of our meetings when he was an inmate in the western Aguascalientes prison.  His nickname was "El Rey Feo" (the ugly king).  It is said that he sold more drugs in Aguascalientes than anyone else.  He was released from prison after only serving eight years of his 23 year sentence. He is now a faithful member of an Evangelical church and is currently ministering in two drug rehab centers. Even though the policy of the prisons in Aguascalientes is to not let anyone with a prison record in Mexico enter the prisons here, he was allowed to enter the western Aguascalientes prison to give his testimony!
