Pastor Juanita Lucio has dedicated her ministry in Acuña, México, to reaching and serving those in greatest need.

Through her church’s feeding center, she offers both physical nourishment and spiritual hope to children, youth battling addiction, and families facing crisis. Her team also goes beyond the church walls, bringing hot meals, prayer, and the message of Jesus to the homeless and migrants on the streets each week.

Heart for the World has partnered with Pastor Juanita since 2017 through annual mission trips to Acuña. Each year, we host a pastors’ training conference to about 100 pastors and leaders, present mental health talks at a local high school with around 400 teens and lead a vibrant Family Festival. This powerful community event includes a concert with our worship pastor, Misael Jiménez, free food distribution, and the life-giving message of the gospel, reaching more than 2,000 people.
