Wow! It was so encouraging to be part of building the Lo Mejor Del Trigo church in eastern Tijuana. I wrote about the birth of the new church in earlier posts. God is so good!
Check out this video that shows the progression of the building of the church. More than 70 people participated in this project over two weekends. Now they are worshipping in the community of Pipila, which is in eastern Tijuana.
The church is off to a good start. Join me in prayer that it will grow, and that the Lord will give Pastor Rodrigo and his family his grace and wisdom as he leads the church.
When we are involved in kingdom work, in working to see new churches raised up it’s important to remember who is building the church. Jesus gives a wonderful promise in Matthew, 16:18 when he’s speaking to Peter and the disciples,
“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
Isn’t that a wonderful promise? Even the gates of hell, our fiercest foe and enemy shall not defeat Christ’s church. Stay the course my dear friends, and keep your eyes on Jesus. We are on the winning side!
In His Grip, Dave

Great work. Its all about reaching the lost with whatever tools God gives. The best is one on one, face to face and let the Holy Spirit touch the person in their heart. All God’s work, but He wants our hands and feet to go there. Blessings upon you and the ministry as well as the newest church.
