Ordination of Isaac


This past Sunday was a very special day. Pastor Isaac from the Prince of Peace congregation was ordained after passing his exam during this year's presbytery meetings. The service took place at Prince of Peace.
Family members of Isaac and Ruth from Toluca, the presbytery delegates, the Prince of Peace congregation, and several guests attended the packed out service.
The service lasted more than three hours, with lots of great singing, a powerpoint presentation for Isaac, the actual ordination, and a sermon.

Afterwards we celebrated with Chicken Mole (Veracruz style) and of course a cake!

Continue to pray for Isaac, Ruth, and Jas as they minister at Prince of Peace. Please also continue to pray for the congregation as they move forward on plans to officially organize as a church.

New Members at Agua Viva

This past Sunday, May 31st, two women joined the Agua Viva mission as members.
Mari Trinidad has been attending the ladies Bible studies since they started two years ago. She is transfering membership from another church.
Katia and her family have been living at the mission for almost two years. She also took the new member's class and was baptized on Sunday as well.
We also formally welcomed Dan and Tere and their two sons to the congregation. They transfered membership from another Presbyterian church here in Tijuana.

Please continue to pray for the Agua Viva mission, that we will be able to reach out to more families in the community.
