Mexico Children's Mission, Inc.

MULTI-TALENTED MISSIONARY

Larry Crouch is a very important part of our work and activities in Matehuala,  Mexico. He is a "Jack-of-all-trades". We have not been aware of any request for help or assistance that he has not responded in a positive and loving way. He works closely with several village pastors, usually spending 2 to 4 days a week working with other pastors. Larry plays a guitar, sings, and leads many church services. He is also an excellent preacher.

For us, Larry distributes most of the funds that we send to him each month. He pays our rent, utilities, pharmacies for medicine, and deposits funds in the various missionaries bank accounts. He is literally our Mexico hands and feet while we are in the States. He also is one of the best interpreters in the area and he is constantly helping almost every Missionary and Pastor that visits the area.

Larry is married to Julieta with two children. Donnie is a freshman in high school, and Rubi is a sophomore in college in Oklahoma. They also have Julieta’s mother, Amalia, living with them.

This is a full time "working" missionary that could certainly use additional funds. If his type ministry would touch your heart, let us know and we will make arrangements to get the funds to him.

Interpreter Missionary

We first met Larry Crouch in 1991. For several years, Larry's mother-in-law, Amalia served as our translator. In recent years Larry has served in that capacity, in addition to being one of the best friends anyone could hope for.

In 1969, after graduating from High School, Larry took a mission trip to Mexico with another missionary family. Upon returning to the US he felt a burden for the people of central Mexico. He returned and has now lived in Mexico for 35 years. In 1984 he married Julieta Villalpando. They now have two children. Their daughter Rubi is a Sophomore in college and their son Larry Don is a sophomore in High School.

Larry works with several pastors in the area around Matehuala. Instead of pastoring churches, he believes in supporting Mexican pastors' ministries. These churches are in rural areas. He visits different villages each week and preaches or teaches with the local pastor.

Living in Mexico and having constant communication with the people has allowed him to speak the language fluently. He is an excellent translator working from English to Spanish and vice-versa. When a missionary group or an evangelist needs a translator, he is willing and able to assist with their communication problems.

Larry and his family appreciate your prayers and support.
