It is with hearts full of gratitude and profound reflection that we write to you today with our final letter as Hebron USA prepares to close this remarkable chapter of ministry after twenty extraordinary years of service alongside our beloved partners, Pablo and Jan Feliciano.
A Legacy of Faith in Action
When we first joined hands with Pablo and Jan two decades ago, we could hardly have imagined the incredible journey God would take us on together. What began as a vision to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ has blossomed into a testament to what can be accomplished when hearts unite across borders in faithful obedience to Christ’s calling. Though we deeply mourn the loss of our beloved Pablo, who went home to be with the Lord in September 2022, his vision and passionate heart for ministry continue to inspire and guide the work he and Jan established together.
Your generous partnership has made possible the construction and ongoing operation of Las Manos De Cristo medical clinic in Ocosingo, Chiapas—a beacon of hope and healing that continues to serve the medical needs of countless families in one of Mexico’s most underserved regions. This clinic stands not merely as a building, but as a living testament to your compassion and Christ’s love made manifest through skilled hands and caring hearts.
Through the years, you have enabled dozens of transformational mission trips that brought together volunteers from across the United States with our cherished partners in the Presbyterian Church of Southern Mexico. These weren’t simply construction projects or medical caravans—they were sacred encounters where language barriers dissolved, cultural differences became bridges, and the universal language of Christian love created bonds that will endure for eternity.
Your support has provided construction assistance that built parsonages, churches, and Sunday schools. Your contributions funded medical caravans that brought essential healthcare to remote villages. Perhaps most importantly, your faithfulness helped create educational opportunities for Mexican pastors and church leaders, strengthening the foundation of the Gospel throughout the region.
A Time of Transition
After much prayer and careful consideration, the Board of Directors has made the difficult decision that Hebron USA will cease operations and formally dissolve within the next 60 days. This decision comes not from any failure of mission, but from a recognition that the work we set out to accomplish has been faithfully completed, and the time has come for this chapter to close with thanksgiving and hope.
Though Pablo has gone to his eternal reward and Jan has stepped back from active ministry, the infrastructure, relationships, and spiritual foundations we’ve built together will continue to bear fruit for generations to come. Las Manos De Cristo clinic continues to operate under the leadership of the Mexican board of directors of Hebron Mexico, ensuring that this vital ministry remains in faithful local hands. The church partnerships remain strong, and the seeds of faith planted through our shared ministry continue to grow.
Our Deepest Gratitude
Words feel inadequate to express the depth of our appreciation for your faithful partnership over these twenty years. You have been the hands and feet of Christ, extending His love across thousands of miles to touch lives in ways that will echo through eternity.
To our mission trip participants: Thank you for your willing hearts, your servant spirits, and your openness to be changed even as you served.
To our financial supporters: Your generosity has literally built the Kingdom of God in tangible, lasting ways.
To our prayer warriors: Your faithful intercession has been the spiritual foundation upon which all our work has rested.
To Pablo: Though you are now celebrating in God’s presence, your legacy lives on in every life touched through this ministry. Thank you for your passionate leadership and unwavering faith.
To Jan: Thank you for your decades of faithful service alongside Pablo, and for your continued prayers and wisdom as the ministry transitions to new leadership.
Looking Forward in Faith
While Hebron USA’s organized ministry is concluding, we are confident that the relationships forged, lives transformed, and Gospel seeds planted will continue to flourish under God’s faithful care.
We encourage you to continue supporting mission work through your local church and other faithful organizations. The need for cross-cultural Christian partnership remains as vital today as when we began this journey together. You can stay in touch with Jan via her email kokjanice6@gmail.com.
May God bless you richly for your faithful partnership. May the joy of knowing that your generosity has brought healing, hope, and the Gospel to countless lives sustain you in the years ahead. And may the relationships and memories formed through our shared ministry continue to remind us all that we are indeed one body in Christ, regardless of the borders that separate us.
“Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:11
With hearts full of gratitude and eyes looking toward eternity,
The Board of Directors
