Shortly before 2011 drew to a close, the mission congregation Cristo Resucitado (Resurrected Christ) in Leon, Mexico, welcomed its first two members: Victor (on left) and Javier.
These two men have been active in the congregation for some time now.
You may remember Javier (pictured above with wife and friends) from a WELS Connection video that came out about a year ago. In it, Javier is pictured in his auto body shop. He expresses gratitude for finding the truth and biblical teachings at the mission. For the past year, he has helped the congregation in many ways, and also looked after the missionaries, offering things from food to car fixes and, most importantly, companionship.
Victor is an active leader in the community, and has been bringing his family to church in recent months. He donated the letters you see on the wall in these pictures (they read: Yo soy la Resurrecion y la Vida - "I am the Resurrection and the Life").
We are so thankful to have these men as members! How great God is, that He would bless this mission with the gift of active leaders, right from the start.There are others currently enrolled in confirmation classes at the mission in Leon. We ask God's blessing on them as they complete the lessons and become members in this coming year.
