Elliott FamilyMissionaries to Zacatecas, MexicoThe Elliot family has been a part of Esperanza since our first year. They were always passionate about missions and particularly the interior mountain villages of Mexico. They spent several years doing extended mission work in Zacatecas any time they had a chance; sacrificing Summers and Christmases to go and be a light in the darkness. Ben and Diana, along with their 3 children, have been full time missionaries to Zacatecas Mexico for 4 years now! Pastor Jim will be visiting Zacatecas to work with the Elliots in May.

National Missions
Runkle Family, Colorado
The Runkle family recently entered into full time ministry with the Military segment of Campus Crusades for Christ (CRU); serving and witnessing to Air Force
cadets and military families. Their
mission at the United States Air Force Academy is to win cadets and airmen to Christ, build them in their faith, and send them out as lifelong laborers who will lead and live intentionally. There are more than 4,000 cadets at the Air Force Academy who will graduate and serve as commissioned officers. They look forward to helping these future military leaders launch into their careers with a desire to have a global impact for Jesus.
