Missions to Latin America

Missions to Latin America is a non-profit 501c3 mission's organization founded by missionaries Paul and

Teresa Stilwell. It's primary objective is church planting in unreached zones of Mexico. The Stilwells are church planters themselves, and they network effectively with other local church planters.

For a feel of what the work projects are like, why not browse some of the links on this page! We have available an orientation sheet for those church groups desiring to form a short-term work team.

The Stilwell's
Though Paul and Teresa have both studied in Bible Insitutes, most of their training has been informal apprenticeship relationhips under quality ministers. For two years Paul apprenticed under Pastor Gerald Zordel in Canon City, Colorado. He later apprenticed for two years under missionaries Robert and Marjorie Clingan in Torreon, Mexico, and two more years under Ray and Phyllis Bedwell in Monterrey, Mexico. He was an elder and Mission's Director in his home church, Cornerstone Christian Church, in Spooner, Wisconsin, for several years between 1992 - 1997.

Paul and Teresa returned to southern Mexico in 1997, being sent by their home church in Spooner, Wisconsin. They worked alongside long-time missionary, Earl Kellum, until his death in 2004. Paul began administrating the construction teams that come annually from the United States, and in 2000 Paul became the coordinator of these work projects. Church teams came from many parts of the United States in the months of January – March to share in the extension of the Gospel in this region, and over 50 church roofs were poured.

In 2011 the Stilwells moved to Minnesota where they raised up a Hispanic ministry to immigrants in Trinity Church, Lakeville, MN, where they continue to minister. In 2016 they launched another Hispanic ministry in Northfield, MN with Cornerstone Church. Paul continues to travel to Southern Mexico 5-6 times each year for pastor's meetings and events within their association of six churches.

A Tribute to Missionary Earl Kellum

Brother Earl Kellum was called into the ministry over 60 years ago at the age of 12. He faithfully served the Lord in Mexico, Central and South America for more than fifty years.

He reaped a great harvest through tent meetings, church planting, church construction, discipling in much of Latin America. Earl was instrumental in the planting of several hundred churches in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Peru.
