  • Church in Compuertas, Sinaloa

          Sinaloa Julio12 064 Besides ministering in the church in Boca EBV Compuertas LibroSinPalabras 024 del Rio where we live, we also join the Sinaloa Julio12 012 church staff in ministering in the town of EBV Compuertas LibroSinPalabras 028 EBV Compuertas LibroSinPalabras 019 Compuertas, an hour and 45 min from Boca EBV Compuertas LibroSinPalabras 002 del Rio.  The Sinaloa Julio12 057 church there was left without a pastor 6Sinaloa Julio12 053 EBV Compuertas LibroSinPalabras 022 months back, and the pastor at Boca has been caring for the congregation.  We lead services there on Sunday and Thursday afternoons.  Though it is a long trip, it is worth it to share the Word with such a loving and receptive congregation!  The members often have us over to their humble homes for dinner before we return to Boca del Rio, and bless us with good food and great company. 

     

              The church in Compuertas does not have a building. They have spent the last 6 months moving from location to location for services: at the homes of some of the brothers, in the town basketball court, a local auditorium, etc.  In an answer to prayer, the church is purchasing its own plot of land for a building, with the help of the church in California!  However, the congregation was really struggling to make the down-payment this month; the people have such little income that even family contributions of $50 are taxing on their budgets. 

     

              But, God provides!!  We received an anonymous financial donation this month, and believe that God sent it to complete what was lacking for the down-payment of the church plot. He is so faithful to these special, loving people in Compuertas!
