We spent the day with: Persida Rivera-Mendez from the LCM staff of our National Offices; Rev. Daniel Celis (pictured here with Raul) from the Congregational Church of Mexico, and pastor of their church in Mazatlan; Pastor Randy Mayer from our church in Sahuarita and Chair of our Growth and Development Committee; Rev. Daniel Eerdman, from Iglesia Congregacional Unida in Albuquerque; and Elizabeth - a vital and active lay leader in the church in Juarez (she is seated in this picture, still working while the rest of us take a break).
We spent the day reviewing the last year's work at sin Fronteras, and dreaming about the future. We continue to partner with the National church, and with the Congregational Church of Mexico to support this strong and vital mission effort. Your contributions to OCWM make this possible, and I promise you Raul is very thankful. I hope soon you all get a chance to listen to Raul speak about the mission and ministry to which he and the church are committed in his barrio. Invite him out to speak some time - you won't regret it.
