Focus
Church Ministry, Horizon House, Christian Ministry Training and New Birth Ministry
Noe and Holly are currently serving alongside their 6 children, Uriah, Keyli, Aislynn, Matthias, Canaan, and Jathan. We are a Bible-based, Christ-centered ministry in Michoacan, Mexico
Our passion is two-fold: family and worldwide missions. God’s design for healthy families is the key to seeing the Gospel spread in Mexico. We train children’s ministers and ministry volunteers all over Mexico, and provide ministry to children and parents through seminars and programs in our community. We also provide Christian education and training to churches and individuals who are answering the call to become part of the Great Comission, in an effort to see Mexico changed from a missionary-receiving nation into a missionary-sending nation.
About Us
Noe Clemente was raised in Naucalpan, Mexico State after his indigenous parents emigrated to Mexico State from their home in the mountains of Puebla. Although his parents raised him in the Christian faith, he did not make a personal commitment to Christ until he was almost 20. He immediately began to take Bible classes at his local church, and months later, at a youth conference, felt the Lord calling him into full-time ministry. He enrolled in Calvary Ministerial Institute in El Carmen, Nuevo Leon, Mexico and began classes. During his 2 years in the classroom and one year of practical ministry internship as youth pastor in Tapachula, Chiapas, he became more aware of the important part foreign missions plays in fulfilling the Great Commission and wanted to get involved.

Holly Swinburne Clemente was raised in Madison, Wisconsin, and grew up in a Christian home. At an early age, she made a commitment to Christ, but did not consider full-time ministry or missions until much later. She went on her first missions trip to Monterrey, Mexico at the age of 12, and during high school made 3 more trips, two to Monterrey and one to Tecate, Mexico. During one of those trips, she was challenged by a veteran missionary to give up the first year of her life after high school to missions. She took the challenge, and 2 months after graduating high school, she moved to El Carmen, Nuevo Leon, Mexico to teach English at a small Christian school. It was while she was there that God confirmed to her that ministry in Mexico was part of his long-term plan for her life. She spent the next year at Calvary Language School, also in El Carmen, learning Spanish, taking culture classes, and being involved in practical ministry.
Noe and Holly were married in 2003 and began working almost immediately in Michoacan, Mexico, sent by City Church in Madison, Wisconsin. Their first 5 years were spent supporting another ministry as they opened a rehabilitation center in Sahuayo and later the first Christian church in Cumuatillo. They were ordained as ministers by New Life Ministries International in August of 2007. In 2008 they were invited to become the interim pastors at a nearby church in El Fortin. During their 4 years in El Fortin they began focusing on personal discipleship, children’s ministries (including a Saturday kids’ club, kids camps, and VBS), and outreach and missions. Since 2013 they have been ministering in a church in Sahuayo as children’s and missions pastors, even as they continue their ministries in their community and take training to other parts of Mexico.
Our Ministries
Church Ministry
We are currently serving as Children’s Pastors and Missions Pastors at Vision Vida church in Sahuayo. We are also involved in the regional pastors association, and we help at retreats, conferences, and crusades in a pastoral role. We also organize and lead short-term missions trips.
Horizon House
Horizon House is a ministry to families in the local community, focusing on youth ministry, children’s ministry, and resources for parents. Kid’s Club is an important part of this ministry and includes music, games, object lessons, Bible stories, snacks and prizes for children from 2 -14. We also offer marriage and parenting workshops.
Christian Ministry Training
We provide Children’s Ministry training to leaders and volunteers in churches all over Mexico through our own training curriculum. We are certified trainers with Global Pathway, and take Global Pathway training seminars to any church that is interested in being more involved in global missions. We are also currently in the process of developing a curriculum for The Great Commission school which will be a Bible school with a strong emphasis in missions training.
New Birth Ministry
New Birth is a ministry to mothers. Holly uses her birth and post-partum doula certifications to help support mothers in all stages of life. Eventually she hopes to offer crisis support, childbirth education, and loss and bereavement support.
“"Family Ministries with a Heart for the Nations" We minister to families through workshops and community outreach, we help churches start missions programs and we train children's ministers and volunteers throughout Mexico.
