Welcome to the fourth installment of my series on Lutheran women in Mexico. This time we're going to cover Señora Patricia, who is a member of Cordero de Dios (Lamb of God) in Sasabe, Sonora.Patricia has been active in the Lutheran church in Sasabe since its early stages. "She was in the first class that we had for membership," recalls Missionary Ron Baerbock, who serves the congregation in Sasabe and others in the surrounding area. After completing the course, she became one of the first communicant members of Cordero de Dios.
According to Missionary Baerbock, one of Patricia's strengths lies in leadership. She has helped out with the efforts of Mission to the Children in the area. She is very active in her church.
Currently, Patricia is the treasurer for the ladies' group at Cordero de Dios. For the church's dedication last spring, she helped decorate the church and plan activities to celebrate the special event. When Missionary Baerbock comes to Sasabe, she always has a big dinner for him in her home. "She's a great cook," says Baerbock.
Being part of the church has been "a great spiritual help to us," says Patricia. Both she and her husband are active in the congregation. "We appreciate the teachings of the Lutheran church."
Patricia is just another example of how much women can, and are doing, here in Mexico. Thanks for all of your work, Patricia, and we pray that God continue to use you as a pillar in his church in Sasabe.
