Who are we?

Jim and Lisa McTighe are people that love people. Their passion to love and serve others has been evident throughout their married life for the past 18 years and has now taken them to serve the Lord as missionaries in the country of Mexico.

Stemming from a successful career as a marketing consultant, entrepreneur, television and radio show producer, as well as a college and professional football player with a degree in Design, Jim had no idea that one day he would be called to serve the Lord on a foreign mission field. A Christian since 1975 Jim has always been active in his church whether at Christ Church in Nashville Tennessee or Grace Covenant in Cornelius North Carolina.

Jim attended the Grace School of Ministry and has served as a Sunday school teacher for classes age 4 to high school, a life group leader and short term missionary on evangelism teams as well as photo journalist on numerous mission trips to Mexico, Nicaragua and Trinidad. With Jim, whether the task at hand is serving as a life group leader or as the “tree” in the story of Zacchaeus in the 4 year old Sunday school class, he freely shares the Love of Jesus and serves the Lord with a cheerful attitude and compassionate heart.

Lisa attended the Grace School of ministry and is a licensed Foursquare pastor.

Subsequent to graduating Cum Laude from Georgia State University with a B.A.

degree in education she was blessed with a 25 year career as a national television and radio host. Having hosted over a thousand televisions shows, Lisa enjoyed an exciting career interviewing many Country music favorites as well as a vast array of other celebrities from first lady Barbara Bush in the white House to Dale Earnhardt at the NASCAR track in Talladega.

Simultaneous with her career in television, Lisa has served in the churches she’s attended as Sunday school teacher, conference speaker/trainer and worship leader. She also served for two years on the staff at Grace Covenant Church as the director of the Early Childhood Department and was the Bible teacher for Mooresville Christian Academy for grades 6-12 the year prior to going on the mission field. She and her husband Jim were life group leaders for 5 years and have served together on evangelism teams to Nicaragua and Mexico.

Through a series of miraculous events that transpired in their lives, this couple became aware that God was calling them to serve in the county of Mexico. They and Patrick, the youngest of their four children, now live and serve the Lord in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

Servants International exists to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ through demonstrating the Love of Jesus. We serve by discipling and partnering with local Nationals to address physical, spiritual and educational needs in the city of San Luis Potosi, Mexico and surrounding rural rancho communities. Our passion is to not only address current needs of people, but to disciple, train and equip Mexican Nationals as leaders that will impact the next generation in Mexico for Jesus Christ.
