Wondering where our Lutheran churches in Mexico? Click here. You'll see a Google map with pointers marking the places where mission work is currently going on.
In the near future, I'll be adding pictures and more information about each congregation to the map. When it is updated, I'll let you know. In the meantime, I'm adding the map as a link on the right (look under the Learn More section).
Before I came to Mexico, I didn't realize just how big the country is. Mexico is about three times the size of Texas. It has 31 states and measures 3,283 miles from the west coast to the east coast.
We have churches spread throughout the country. This means that some of the congregations are very far (like more than 24 hours away by bus) from each other. We're working on building up small clusters of congregations in certain areas in order to build fellowship among our members and pastors.
Keep this information in mind for this week's video. On Friday, I'll be talking about Mike's role here. One of his responsbilities is to visit the various congregations marked on the map. As you can see, this is no small task. We miss him when he's on the road, but the girls and I know that his travel is important for the continued growth and prosperity of the church down here.
Check in on Friday to hear more about Mike and see him preach in Spanish!

Love the map.
Did Mexico City's congregation change its name?
Thanks for all you do for us.
Oops, that's a mistake! I'm having Mike fix it right away. Thanks for pointing this out!
Hope you and the family are doing well - miss you guys!
Mike & Rachel,
I thought it was a typo - but not knowing exactly what has happened in the big city, I thought I would ask!
Loved reading about furlough! I can also sympathize with the noise - and there are times when I miss the noise!
¡Que Dios les bendiga esta Pascua!
We miss you guys as well.
Hey, Mike just told me that you're coming down to next year's Taller!!! Yippee! So cool. Hope we can hook up somehow...
