Pastor Liliana Huerta Sanchez (Mexico)

Senior Pastor
Misión Cristiana Incluyente Mexico City

Keynote: The importance of teamwork and leadership for the next generation

Pastor Liliana is the founder of the Inclusive Christian Mission and currently pastors this church, which has two locations in Mexico City. Today, Liliana considers her greatest satisfaction to be witnessing God’s power transform the lives of our people, seeing them grow and develop into the next generation of ministers in our community. She firmly believes that MCI is a platform built on sound doctrine and wisdom, one that will launch lives with a Kingdom testimony for Mexico and South America.

Born into a devout Catholic family, she attended Catholic schools for her early education, embracing Catholicism through family tradition. It wasn’t until January 2001 that her inner calling led her to leave behind everything she had learned from her parents, dedicating her heart to Jesus Christ and experiencing a Christian renewal.

She holds a degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of the Valley of Mexico. She completed her pastoral studies under the guidance of Apostle Ricardo Averill in 2006, receiving a certificate from Global Impact Ministries in the United States. That same year, she furthered her studies with the course “Religious Worlds: Religion and Sexual Alternatives,” offered at the National School of Anthropology and History.
