Thank you Denver Adults


Thank you Denver Adults for another job well done!

Denver Adults in San Quintin




This past week the adult team from 3rd CRC, Denver was with us in San Quintin, BC to help build the sanctuary building for the new mission "Cristo Vive" (Christ Lives). We arrived Monday at about noon. The team got started right away with making trusses and walls. By Thursday the building was framed, wired, and the shingles were on!

The group also decided to help a neighbor family with a home. Two families had been living in a temporary home made of old plastic and hose from the local greenhouses.

The team also helped to close holes and add support to the roof of another neighbor's home.

Mission Cristo Vive, San Quintin, Baja California




One of the Reformed Presbyterian congregations, “Cristo Vive” (Christ Lives) has been led to start a new mission in the town of San Quintin, Baja California, about four and a half hours south of Tijuana. San Quintin is an agricultural area that grows strawberries, tomatoes and other vegetables. There is a great need in this area for churches. There is also a need to help train other local pastors, and a Timothy Leadership Training is being planned for later this year.

Members from the “Cristo Vive” congregation have made numerous mission trips to San Quintin. They recently made the down payment for a property there. On March 18th, men from “Cristo Vive”, the rehab center, and others went to San Quintin to pour the foundation for the first building on the new property.
