The Buchanans
Since their early teenage years, both Tim and Brianna felt the call to missions. They had various opportunities to take mission trips throughout young adulthood. Through these experiences, the Lord solidified their passion for cross cultural ministry and to reach the unreached with the hope of the Gospel.
After marriage, the Lord burdened their hearts for Latin America. Through much prayer, they felt the Lord calling them to go. They joined Avant Ministries and learned of the great need for the Gospel in Mexico. They will be serving as church planters in Central/South Mexico.
Why Go?
Why Go?
In Luke 10:2, Jesus sends out the 72 and tells them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
As of 2025, there are approximately 8.2 billion people in the world. Around 4.5 billion do not know Jesus. Of those, 3 billion will never hear the Good News because they have no access to the Gospel.

Through evangelism and discipleship, we hope to see the Lord establish His Church in Mexico. We hope to train local believers into leadership to continue the work of the Gospel in their own culture and mobilize others to step out on mission in other hard-to-reach areas of the world.

Finances
Finances
Not everyone is able to go cross-culturally, but everyone can play a part in the eternal impact for the kingdom of God. Missions and ministry cannot happen without the financial backing of individuals and churches.
Would you consider becoming a monthly partner and making an impact for eternity in the lives of those around the world?
Prayer
Prayer
Ephesians 6:18 tells us to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people."
As Christians, we are always in a spiritual battle. We need the prayers of the Lord's people to go before us as we follow His lead into unfamiliar battle ground.
