This thesis is about a strategy to break down resistance against the Gospel through holistic medical ministries. We worked among Catholics and native religious people in three rural towns of the State of Mexico, Mexico. I assume that every person is in some point walking to or from God in a process of knowing God in spite of his or her religious journey. Resistant people are found far from understanding God's plan for their salvation. Receptive people are found close to this point. This project tries to speed up people's movement toward God through holistic love actions. This ministry breaks down resistance and makes people understand God's love for them in tangible ways. The method of study starts from a critical analysis of the Bible, tradition, and the history of medical missions in church history and in Mexico. The study's conclusions came from the instruments used to analyze the communities according to their specific needs, religious background, and their readiness for evangelization. Holistic medical missions help church planting and church growth.
