Casa de Esperanza
Brenda and Art Koenes, directors of Casa de Esperanza
Means ‘house of hope’
Their mission is to encourage the local Mexican evangelical churches with the help of brothers and sisters from churches across Canada, U.S., and Mexico.
Since Casa de Esperanza began, Art and Brenda have worked there and now oversee the ministry.
Brenda, an Estevan, SK native entered full-time ministry after graduation. During her term as dean at Peace River Bible Institute she started to lead missions teams to Mexico; arranging ministry opportunities and work projects. She was led to move to Mexico and host missionary teams full-time. Brenda and Art (Michigan native) met when his missions team came to help build the walls for Casa de Esperanza. They now serve together full-time in ministry.
““To train servant leaders to know God, to model His character, and to build into others the life-changing principles of His Word.””
