The Mendez family serves in Nicaragua through the International Leadership Institute (ILI), where Pastor Melvin is the National Coordinator. An average of 500 leaders are built up each year through mobilizing teams and training national leaders. Additionally, the Mendez family engages in cross-cultural missions’ mobilization, evangelism, discipleship training, and church planting.
Melvin and Paola, married for 20 years, train and mobilize leaders throughout the national territory and provide mentoring for more effective mobilization. Along with their family, Melvin Jr (18), Joseph (12), and Melany (4), they build strategic alliances with leaders and ministries focused on the preparation of leaders and the spread of the gospel. The Mendez family lives in the city of Matagalpa, located in the North of Nicaragua, about 80 miles from the capital.
Melvin was a professional draftsman of project plans for a construction and architecture company, but felt called to become a pastor and a church planter. In 2010, he felt the need to help with the preparation and training of leaders, and began working with ILI. He learned about World Renewal through Ramiro Martinez, and is excited to now be a partner with World Renewal as well.
