Workers for Mexico Mission is an outgrowth from and a partnership with Clinton Looney, missionary to Mexico for the past 46 years. The Looneys, over the years, have helped establish congregations and supported native Mexican preachers in these congregations. In addition, the radio and correspondence course programs have reached thousands in Spanish-speaking lands. The mission also includes various benevolent efforts--student homes, deaf ministry, childrens day care, feeding centers for children, clinics and other outreach efforts to the needy. The work includes camps, preacher training, correspondence courses, and the support of the Bible Institute at Queretaro.

In 1996, Bro. Looney, seeking to assure that the work would continue in the years ahead, began turning many mission functions over to Mexican leaders in three key cities and asked Francis Nash with his wife, Pam, to serve as stateside director and forwarding agents.
