Box 4, Otwell, IN 47564 Please submit resumes to: A pastor with whom he was associated talked to Sam and his wife and asked him if he would con- sider mission work. "I had planned on being a pastor," said Hornbrook. But he was told about a missionary who was having health problems and need- ed help. "My wife and I decided we would go down and help him for one year." "We fell in love with the Mexican people." He has been in Poza Ri- ca, which he said means the "rich well," ever since. It has been anything but easy. When he first started and was going out into rural areas teaching teens, he met with resistance from some of their parents. "I was threat- ened almost everyday. But I had to take advantage of the opportunities I had to teach the Word of God. I remem- ber one particular place. We went out, it was going to be a meeting of several young people. I taught them the Word of God. A drunk par- ent threatened me. We al- ready had the meeting. I had about 15 young people in my van. About 15 to 20 people with machetes and pitch forks stopped us. Threat- ened me and told me if I ever returned, they would supply me with a place in eternity." He said people in his Bi- ble study came back to him and said people in that vil- lage had talked and said if Hornbrook came back, they would kill him. "But we want to hear the Bible and you are welcome in our home." So Hornbrook said he decided to talk to the chief of police. The police chief got two guys who had been trained to go with Horn- brook. "They looked like Wyatt Earp with their pistols and boleros. They got their guns and said 'let's go.'" The two armed men got their pistols and a loaded M- 1, and went to the house of the person who had threat- ened Hornbrook. "They said, 'This is a peaceful vis- it. We understand you have threatened this person. He is an evangelist. If we hear any more threats, we will come out on business and it would not be beneficial to you to be in jail." Hornbrook said the trou- blemakers started threaten- ing the families he was vis- iting. And in one case, they wouldn't let one of the wives get water at the town's one well. Her husband went to a judge and filed a complaint. It was the second complaint. The people were warned if another complaint was re- ported to him, they would go to jail. "That is when the threats stopped," said Horn- brook. During Hornbrook's ten- ure in Mexico, he had been able to establish a school that now goes from pre- school to fifth grade, and they are opening a sixth grade this year. His development of Chris- tian schools is well-known in the area. So much so, a Mex- ican official who was desig- nated by Mexico's presi- dent to develop schools is wanting to work with Horn- brook's organization to de- velop schools in the area. They already have 15 sec- ondary and professional schools in the area. Hornbrook said while the government has been devel- oping schools and the cur- riculum, their school books have so much sex in them, many parents are flocking to the Christian schools. "They tell us, we aren't Christian, but we don't want our chil- dren in these schools, will you accept our children." Hornbrook's ministry has reached far and wide. "I don't really know how many people we have dealt with," said Hornbrook. He said one of his early trainees had kept track of how many people that per- son had trained. That early trainee of Hornbrook's had trained 245 people alone. So the numbers of people who have received Chris- tian training is staggering. Hornbrook's reach ex- tends back into the United States. One of his trainees and his wife moved to Or- egon, where they started a church and have been in the ministry for years. His son, Sam, Jr., is al- so a missionary in Mexico City, which is vastly differ- ent from the rural setting of his father's mission. Horn- brook, Jr. said it is much the same except he is dealing with a metropolitan area. "The main difference is just getting used to the circum- stances, traffic smog and taking a lot of time to get anywhere. Raising a family, you don't let your kids out of your sight," said Sam, Jr. Hornbrook said he has been in Mexico so long he now thinks in Spanish in- stead of English. "When I went to Mexico, I probably knew about 200 words." Hornbrook and his son, Sam, Jr., and Sam, Jr.'s fam- ily were in Petersburg to vis- it with his sister, Carol Ro- bling, and another sister, Janice, who lives in Anchor- age, Alaska. "This is the first time in decades we have all been to- gether," said Janice.
