Roland and Carolyn answered the call to full time missions in 1988. They lived in Mexico for 3 years leading small home cell groups, sharing in marriage ministry, heading up medical outreaches, teaching English as a door to evangleism and founded an orphange. In 1992 Roland founded Strategic Alliance Ministries. The vision is to mobilize the Body of Christ and create a network of believers through strategic alliances to promote missionary outreach resulting in world evangelism. One vehicle used is building homes for homeless people along the Mexican American border and reaching into remote Indian tribes of Mexico. Not only have we seen communities changed through better living conditions but also individual hearts transformed by Jesus.
Terremoto is also a vehicle the Lord impressed upon Roland to impart a missionary vision into the hearts of young people. Through this incredible cross cultural, bilingual youth camp several missionaries are now serving on the mission field after responding to the Lord's tug on their hearts during Terremoto. The impact of Terremoto has rippled into Mexican churches to create their own evangelism teams and even plant new churches. As a direct result of the evangelism that occurs during Terremoto we have seen multitudes of souls come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
A beautiful benefit that we have experienced through strategic alliances is the full cooperation of the Body of Christ working together in spite of obstacles of culture and language, in a heartfelt effort to reach the lost with eternal salvation.
