The Hornors

A Tentmaker is a dedicated, spiritually mature Christian who views work in light of the Great Commission and as an opportunity to serve the Kingdom of God. Therefore, work is a vital aspect of Christian witness, because it provides substantial means of developing relationships, credibility, and contexts for ministry.

As tentmaking missionaries we help Spanish speaking parents of preschool to elementary kids who want to homeschool but don’t know how to get started or where to get materials. We offer both training for parents and curricula – in Spanish at Lemonhass.com.

Our conferences and trainings offer professional guidance from a Christian perspective to inspire, challenge and equip parents to use education as a discipleship tool in their families.

At Handprint Legacy™ we mentor Christians in business to leave a larger legacy impact through their online courses and mentorship programs.

Our ministry locally involves relationship evangelism, and a Chaplaincy to the local national baseball team.

We are in Campeche, Campeche, Mexico, two blocks from the old city walls. Campeche is one of the only remaining walled cities in the Caribbean and one of the first places the explorers landed in the New World. It's rich in Mayan and European history as well as full of natural wonders. It's been recently rated by multiple travel outlets as one of the top 10 safest cities in Mexico, and as yet mostly undiscovered by American tourist because we have no beach, only waterfront on the Gulf of Mexico.

With a heart for discipling tomorrow’s generation of leaders, Lemonhass® is our online Spanish platform:

You are the perfect partner for this ministry if

• You believe homeschooling, discipleship and family ministry are viable ministries and important to the spread of the Gospel into future generations. 
• You are an individual, family or church with a burden for this ministry.
• You are open to out-of-the box, non-traditional ministry opportunities. 
• You recognize that some seeds are sown without immediate results. 

We believe our ministry is a seed sowing and watering one. If we are not faithful, the fruit will not come; AND we also recognize that the fruit may not be visible in our lifetime. We’re okay with that, thrilled to be doing what God has called us to today and trusting him for tomorrow.

No. During our 15 years in Mexico we have been involved in multiple church plants and Bible Institute ministries. However, our current focus is relationship evangelism, one on one and small group discipleship, and ministry to families. 

We are Christ followers. Religion has been in our area of Mexico in some form or another for 500 years. There are so many prejudices against the various labels that we prefer to talk about Christ and his power than get distracted discussing a church or religion. Our sending church is Baptist. You can read our doctrinal statement here.

Our sending church is Iglesia Bautista de la Fe, (Faith Baptist Church) in Greenville, SC, USA. 

Yes. As the local pandemic regulations allow, we attend a local church pastored by a Mexican national.

When our initial assignment in Campeche and much of our funding was pulled out from under us in 2011, God laid it on our hearts to serve the Spanish homeschool community through curriculum and trainings. He has enlarged our ministry through our English business/ministry to entrepreneurs as well to the point that in 2021 God is supplying both the business' and family's financial needs primarily through the business. 

No. Our business pays for itself and also provides a monthly check to the family. Ministry donations received support the family and the ministry of mentoring, teaching, speaking, discipling, etc. 

No. Our ministry is discipleship based, and due to the nature of our counseling, and the fact that most of the people we serve are in countries where homeschooling is still not protected by law, we are often not at liberty to share numbers and other information. If your ministry requires this type of reporting it may mean you’d be better matched with a church-planting missionary. We believe our ministry is a seed sowing and watering one. If we are not faithful, the fruit will not come; AND we also recognize that the fruit may not be visible in our lifetime. We are literally forging a new path with homeschool in the Spanish World, and the effects may not be evident for years to come. We’re okay with that, thrilled to be doing what God has called us to today and trusting him for tomorrow. Please join our email list at the top of the page to receive quarterly updates.

1. Our son was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes in Jan 2018. In 2020 God provided an implanted glucose meter and an insulin pump to avoid needle pokes 20+ times per day. We cannot get the every 3 week replacement supplies in Mexico and due to the pandemic limiting travel, haven't been able to get them for 2 years.
2. The guest apartment was finished Dec 2022 and now ready to host ministry guests and rent out for additional income. Please continue to pray for the provision and ministry that will come through that.
3. We've lived in our 250 year-old home for 5 years. We have just completed laying tile in the kitchen and courtyard area. The kitchen remodel is still underway. Next we'll move on to finishing the master bathroom so we'll have 2. It's functional for our family of 7, but not finished.
