Meet Pastor Israel Rodriguez, pictured above at the entrance to La Santa Cruz (Holy Cross) church. This congregation, located in the heart of Monterrey, is our largest in Mexico. Pastor Rodriguez is the youngest of our Mexican pastors.How did the youngest pastor get placed with the largest congregation? I could give you the series of events that took place to bring him to Monterrey, but it would be a bit long and tiring. The bottom line is that God led him to this congregation. And, thanks be to God, it's been a great fit. Pastor Rodriguez is definitely the man for the job in this particular congregation.
Last weekend, Mike went to Monterrey to visit the pastor and congregation there. This was a very beneficial visit. Since Pastor Rodriguez is just starting out, it's helpful for him to sit down with Mike and discuss his ministry plan. It also gives Mike the opportunity to address any concerns that might come up.
On a personal note, the girls and I went along with Mike on his trip to Monterrey. It was fun for us to see Pastor Rodriguez and the members of La Santa Cruz. And we got in some good family time as well (oh, and I bought some cute shoes! What more could a girl want?)

Is this church on across from La Alameda? I believe this is where my grandfather was the Pastor in the 60s and 70s, Rev. Felix Segovia.
