Church Dedication in Sasabe, Sonora



Last weekend Mike went to Sasabe, which is in the state of Sonora. This town is located on the Arizona border. It takes about a day to get there from our place in Torreon.

He went there because the congregation "Cordero de Dios" (Lamb of God) in Sasabe dedicated a new church - a very exciting event! Pictured above is Missionary Ron Baerbock greeting people at the entrance to the church. Missionary Baerbock currently serves the congregation.

Mike made the trip with Señor Jesus Vega, president of the Mexican Lutheran Church. Below you can see Señor Vega cutting the ribbon to open up the new church.


Mike came home full of good news from Sonora. The congregations there are growing and they need more workers. President Vega and other church leaders are looking into ways to get more help to Missionary Baerbock. This is good news indeed!

When he comes back from a trip, Mike almost always brings us a present. This time it was a Sonora specialty: huge flour tortillas! They are delicious. Here's a pic of Mike making us breakfast with these creations. They taste yummy served with eggs and refried beans.
