Visiting Churches


The first weekend in July Mike traveled to the city of Guadalupe, a suburb of Monterrey. It is about five hours by bus from Torreon. He went there to visit with Pastor Eduardo Vazquez, who oversees the congregation, and to see the members.

Traveling to the different congregations in Mexico (see their locations on this map) is an important aspect of Mike's job. As field coordinator, he serves as a counselor to the various Mexican pastors. He helps the IELC, which is WELS' sister synod in Mexico, to grow and mature.

Pictured above is the building where the congregation in Guadalupe worships. It is a mission congregation right now, with plans to continue growing in the coming years. Here's a short video of the members saying hi and wishing you God's blessings.
