Dean and Brenda serve as church planters with a special emphasis on Spanish people in Thornton, Colorado a large suburb of Denver. Although their ministry is centered in Thornton, it reaches Spanish speaking people all over the Denver metropolitan area. In January of 1987, Dean and his wife Brenda traveled to Ponce, Puerto Rico where they served in a church planting ministry until August of 2003. Two churches were planted out of their main church. Both of these churches have Puerto Rican pastors today. Then the Hendrix family moved to Denver, Colorado to begin a church planting ministry among the Spanish speaking people in this area. They worked for 3 years through Tri-City Baptist Church in Westminster and Faith Baptist Church in Longmont. Presently, the ministry continues at Tri-City Baptist Church where the Iglesia Bautista de Tri-City has 2 services each Sunday, a Wednesday evening service and a Bible study on Friday nights.
