Meet The Clement Family

Beginnings in 1983
Scott & Dana started out as newlyweds on the mission field, working among indigenous tribes in rural eastern-central Mexico. We lived in a small village in the mountains in this house that was over 100 years old. Our first couple of years were spent without running water. We had a river, a well and a spring all within walking distance of our home. I used to joke that we indeed did have running water – I had to run down to the river to get it.

A Young Family

By the mid 80s, our family was complete, Dana having given birth to our daughter, Tasha and later our son, Travis. In the late 80s, we moved from our initial field of endeavor in central Mexico to disciple a group of new believers in urban north-east Mexico. Here, we learned different aspects of ministry that escaped us in the rural setting and that group continues as a healthy church some 30 years later.

North-east Mexico

By the late 80s, we were settled in north-east Mexico where we planted an urban church that is still going strong today and pioneered work among fishing villages off the Gulf coast. My career in mission has been a life-long learning process, a divinely appointed “on-the-job” training to some degree, and these years were important in my education.

Outer Mongolia and Nomads

From 1998 to 2008 we lived in Outer Mongolia. There, we pioneered a unique aproach to evangelizing and establishing a viable church among nomads. As far as we have been able to ascertain it was the first work of its kind in a nomadic community and continues to be somewhat unique to this day. We left Mongolia in 2008 with plans to return, but God had different purposes in mind. The door was providentially closed to us until 2013, when a short return return trip found that the work that we had established had flourished in our absence, as it continues to do to this day.

A Haitus from Missions
After 25 continuous years on the field, we were essentially forced by divine providence to take a hiatus from 2008 to 2016. This much needed break allowed us to re-connect with family and friends and establish ourselves in a solid new home church. During this time Scott was honored to serve as ruling elder at Plains Presbyterian (PCA) in Zachary, Louisiana.

Return to Mexico
In 2017, we were sent out by our home church to return to Mexico, this time in the north-west area. Our daughter Tasha joined us and has worked in various support capacities in different ministries. We have been together in the state of Sonora since then.

Current Work in Sonora
We are now living in Sonora, Mexico where Scott has pastored a group of believers under the covering of a Mexican pastor who is engaged in a new plant in a nearby city. Recently, Scott and Dana have also begun outreach to indigenous communites in the mountains of south-central Sonora where we are developing new methods for evangelization and dicipleship.

A DEEP PASSION FOR THE WORK …

The Clement family has always held a deep passion for the work of discipleship and Bible teaching. They consider the call to have a part in building up the church of Jesus Christ to be an undeserved honor and a high blessing.

FAITHFULNESS TO THE SCRIPTURE …

Scott’s focus has always been mostly on Bible teaching. A strong coviction that deep roots in a solid understanding of the essentials of the Christian faith  and  doctrine makes for strong disciples and a strong church guide their work.

A COMMITMENT TO DEEP DISCIPLESHIP …

Church is about people living together in community under the headship of Christ. Intense and intentional personal discipleship both on an indivudual as well as corporate level shape their vision, leadig toward stong followers to Christ!

A GLOBAL VISION WITH A LOCAL FOCUS …

Having lived and worked in an extensive range of geographical, cultural and ecclestiastical situations, the Clements have a vision for a strong local church in the context of the worldwide fellowship of the redeemed, the church universal.

Prayer

Honestly, the most important thing that you can do is to pray for us! We need the help of God’s Holy Spirit as we seek to serve the church and reach the lost here in Sonora. While material support is important in keeping us solvent on the field, we know that ultimately God is our provider and He is faithful! The four most important prayer points that I regularly ask for are based on Paul’s prayer requests in his epistles.

(You can also learn about timely prayer requests by viewing our latest update video below, and you can learn how to send material support just beneath this section …)

Please pray for us specifically and regularly …

  • … that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as per 2 Thessalonians 3:1
  • … that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, as per Colossians 4:3
  • … that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, as per Ephesians 6:19
  • … and that our service for the church in Sonora may be acceptable to the saints, Romans 15:31
