Sunday, July 20th, the Cristo Arca de Salvacion church celebrated 25 years of service for the Lord in the community of Francisco Villa. The special service began at 9:00 in the morning, there was a meal afterwards, with activities and games, including a bonfire, until after midnight.
Abraham and Doris Marcus, missionaries who helped to begin the work, attended the service as well. There were stories and pictures with the history of the church. The work began with projecting Christan movies in an abandoned house in the community. Later they bought the property where the church is today, for a whopping $400! There were pictures of the quanson hut which served as a church and parsonage for many years.
Pastor Armando and Adriana have been working at the Arca church for 22 years now! They were also the ones who lived for many years in the quanson hut. There were pictures of the early services at the church, attended mostly by children, and even pictures of their own children as babies!
What a blessing it is to see God's faithfulness throughout the years. The Arca Church today is also in charge of three missions in neighboring communities, and the gospel continues to spread as Tijuana continues to grow!
