When you think of Spring Break in Cancun, Mexico, spreading the Gospel would not likely be on most people’s minds. But as an international ministry team discovered, the beach crowds include many with emotional and spiritual needs.

PEOPLE PARTYING IN CANCUN AND PLAYA DEL CARMEN MAY LOOK LIKE THEY’RE HAVING A GOOD TIME, BUT DEEP DOWN MANY ARE LONGING FOR MORE.
SCOTT LANGEMIER, REACH CANCUN 2026
“He shared with me how his mother recently died because of alcoholism. He shared how he was now responsible for two siblings, and he had a beer in his hand the whole time. And I just listened to him, started to share a little about Jesus, how Jesus sees him, and how He loves him, and in the middle of our conversation he took his beer, he dumped it all out on the beach. He said he wants to give his life to Jesus.”
SCOTT LANGMEIER LED A RECENT 10-DAY MISSION TO THE AREA KNOWN FOR ATTRACTING SPRING BREAK CROWDS.

“The evangelists focused on Cancun hotspots-high traffic area, including the beach and the main tourism strip.”

“We really believe that Jesus wants to meet people. And there are a lot of people today who aren’t going to go to a church, but we, as the global church, can go to them.”
48 EVANGELISTS TRAVELED HERE FROM LATIN AMERICA, THE U.S., AND EUROPE, LIKE RICARDA, WHO’S FROM SWITZERLAND.
RICARDA, REACH CANCUN 2026
“I was on the beach yesterday at night and I saw a woman there, but she’s so sad in her life, what’s happened, and so I asked her if I can pray for her and she told me, ‘Yes, please,’ and I prayed and she was so touched and she told me that it was the first time that a person prayed for her, and now she’s open to learn more about God.”
THE EVANGELISTS LEARN AS THEY GO.

“We don’t really know each other before we arrive. And in the morning we have a time of worship. We have trainings where we try to give practical tools to how we can share the gospel. A lot of people who come, it’s the first time they’ve ever done something like this.”
IN TEN DAYS, THEY BAPTIZED 22 PEOPLE AND PLANTED MANY SEEDS.
ALEX, REACH CANCUN 2026
“Yesterday in Playa Del Carmen, I met a man and we actually were able to invite him to a church. And we prayed for him, and he had tears in his eyes, and we hope that he will go all-in with Jesus.”
IN ADDITION TO TOURISTS, THE GROUP REACHED LOCALS, TOO.
SCOTT LANGEMIER, REACH CANCUN 2026 “Even in the hotel, we were training, the staff could tell there was something different about us. And one night they actually asked us to do a program for the entire hotel and so we were able to do it right there-share the gospel to people who were staying. And in aspects we weren’t even expecting, God opened new doors.”
LANGEMIER SAYS MANY CHRISTIANS WOULD BE LESS AFRAID TO SHARE THE GOSPEL IF THEY WITNESSED SOMEONE WHO resists AT FIRST GET SAVED, LIKE THIS MAN.

“He ended up getting on his knees right there on the beach, confessing his sin, and saying he needs forgiveness. He wants to be free. He’s tired of these burdens he’s carrying. And shortly after we baptized him, and the next night he came back, and he invited his father to come back. And he even picked up Bibles that we were sharing and he was sharing them with other people as well.”
THIS IS REACH CANCUN’S THIRD YEAR AND PLANS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE FOR 2027. LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.
