Bennetts On Mission…Puebla, Mexico

Welcome to the website of missionaries Scott & Sherry Bennett

About Us

Prayer Card

Thank you for visiting our blog. Many of you may be wondering how we’ve gotten to where we are today, so we’ll explore with you our journey that brought us to become missionaries to Mexico.

It all started before we were married, actually before we even knew each other. I (Sherry) had taken a mission trip to Russia and Ukraine in 1993 to deliver medical supplies to hospitals as well as encourage Believers in Moscow and Kiev. I’ll never forget the peace I had giving my testimony and sharing the Gospel with those who had never heard. It was there I felt God’s calling for me to share His Truth with a lost world.

For Scott, the Call came while on a short-term mission trip to Saltillo, Mexico in 1995. Because of the language barrier, the mission team was compelled to share the Gospel using silent dramas. Many of the people were interested in the dramas but Scott was unable to speak to them concerning a saving faith in Jesus Christ. It was there that God called him to return and be a voice for Him.

Scott and I married in 1996 and immediately began to involve ourselves in ministry. Two years later, we decided to go back to school in order to finish our undergraduate degrees. In the summer of 2002, Sherry received her Bachelors of Accountancy from the University of Oklahoma and in November 2003, passed the Certified Public Accountant exam.

It was in the summer of 2003 that we both felt God reawakening our hearts to mission work and decided to make our mission calling public to our local church Village Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, OK. Shortly thereafter, we contacted a consultant at the International Mission Board to discuss the possibilities of joining their team. In order for us to meet the requirements of the job, Scott would need to have 30 hours of seminary. So, in October 2003, Scott enrolled at Southern Nazarene University and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Family Studies and Gerontology in December 2004.

In January 2005, we packed our bags and headed for Kansas City, MO. Scott enrolled at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary where he earned a Masters of Divinity with Highest Honors in just two and a half years! During that time we had several in-depth interviews with the International Mission Board. Finally on May 9, 2007, we were officially appointed as missionaries to Puebla, Mexico. It is here that we will serve as Urban Strategy Coordinators devising a plan and leading a team to plant new indigenous churches among the people of Puebla.

Join us as we begin our journey thru life on the mission field. We pray your life will be blessed by what God is doing in Mexico and that you will be led to pray for us and the People of Puebla regularly in your prayers.
