Our Mission Statement says: The purpose of Corazn Ministries is to evangelize to non-believers, to develop believers into disciple makers, and to equip believers for work and service within the context of culture and community in the Hispanic/Latino and other ethnic populations. In 2025, Corazn Ministries continued to demonstrate its mission through gatherings, newsletters, Bible studies, and workshops. Corazn Ministries organized and contributed to community outreach projects by collaborating with local schools and churches on construction, cleanup, and landscaping projects. We continue to support Christian schools, including Pusch Ridge South. We helped local families in need, collaborated with school educators and leaders in Tucson, and partnered with the Association of Spanish-Speaking Pastors for outreach efforts that resulted in citywide events. In addition, we collaborated with local ministries in our city to develop healthy family environments for future generations. We also conducted cross-cultural training sessions across the United States focused on reaching Hispanic/Latino communities for Christ. We minister to men, women, couples, moms, youth, families, pastors, and their wives. We preach in churches locally and nationally. We perform weddings, funerals, and dedications, and provide biblical premarital training. We have an affiliation with radio stations to spread the Gospel. This past year, Corazn Ministries hosted a series of Until He Returns workshops that grew out of the previous years Until He Returns Missions Conference. Corazn reached an estimated 75,000 individuals locally and nationwide.
