It's Vista Marina's Time!
Jesus said to his disciples: "...I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." (Mt. 16:18, NLT) Friends, we are seeing Jesus' words in action. He is building His Church, and nobody can stop it (Mt. 16:18).
Sixteen years ago, when we first got to Mexico, we planted a small congregation in a Colonia called "Vista Marina," a few miles south of Rosarito. In the years since, many of our stateside friends and churches have helped us share Jesus and strengthen this work through countless outreaches, prayers and personal visits.
The colonia has recently experienced explosive growth, and now contains families from every country in Central America. The newcomers are often provided very rudimentary homes, but jobs are hard to come by, so they have little food or anything else. In a very real sense, Vista Marina has become a mission field of its own, with our church right in the middle!
All these years, the congregation itself has been meeting in the driveway of a local family, and they've managed to get by—but pastors Angel and Vene Trujillo tell us that recent growth has has stretched things to the limit. Well, things are about to change! In the middle of all this, property close by has become available for purchase, and a dear friend has put up the money! We see this as the hand of God, preparing His people, telling us all that it's time to increase our witness here, to lift up Jesus so that all will be drawn to Him! (Jn. 12:32)
So what's needed now? We need $25,000 to build a basic facility—on this new property—that will give them all the room they need. Friends, the church in Vista Marina is ready to become a true base for evangelism and care, becoming Jesus' hands and feet in this needy community.
