Davidson, Charles & Bonita

Charles, originally from Asheville, N.C., was motivated to consider world evangelization through the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ at Clemson University. Bonita, who grew up in LaGrange, Ga., attended the dental school at the Medical College of Georgia (DMD, 1983). During this time, she was deeply influenced by the ministry of First Presbyterian Church of Augusta, Ga., and felt the call to world missions.

The Davidsons met and married in Columbia, S.C., in 1984. Charles received his M.Div. degree from Columbia International University in 1985 and was then ordained by Westminster Presbytery. In 1989 the Davidsons joined MTW with a call to the church-planting team in Lima, Peru. After 15 years in Lima, the Davidsons moved to El Paso, Texas, to join the MTW border ministry in education and mentoring. In 2012 they were invited to join the Northern Mexico team to serve out of Monterrey, Mexico, as a teacher and mentor of Mexican church planters.

Charles’ role in Monterrey is to minister with the Church Planting Center, training and mentoring men throughout the north of Mexico. He is investing himself in others so that they can reproduce themselves many times over.

The Davidsons have three grown daughters, Elise, Anna, and Ila.
