Cristo es el Camino - Tierra y Libertad Church Plant

2/4/2015

Sunday, January 18 was the opening event for Pastor Carlos Maciel’s fourth church plant! I believe I’ve stated it before, but Pastor Carlos’ vision is to set fires all over the barrios until they ignite into one large fire. With this vision in mind, Pastor Carlos and his faithful men know how to make empty barrio lots and pallets look good! The new property for the church is nice and square and made up of two nice-sized lots. His men put a two-pallet high fence around the property and cleaned and leveled the land. They put up tarps for shade and brought in chairs from the other three churches (to go along with the forty plus chairs we, as a ministry, had purchased for this new church plant).

When Richard and I arrived, Pastor Carlos said, “This is going to be big.” He could feel the excitement in his spirit and knew that what God is going to do with this new church plant is going to be big. In full agreement, my reply was, “I know it’s going to be big. In my spirit, I’ve seen large groups of people coming into this church. Really big.”

We started going around the neighborhood at 9:00 a.m. The festivities started at 10:00 a.m. Pastor Carlos welcomed all the newcomers and residents of Tierra y Libertad, as well as identified the attendees of his existing churches. Excitement filled the air. There was great worship music playing through the sound system (brought over from the mother Church).  Soon the praise team began.

The Holy Spirit honored us with His presence and many people were touched. When Pastor Carlos gave the altar call for salvation, healing, broken heartedness, marriages, family problems, finances, etc., several people came forward, some which attend the Cabo Church feeding station program on Tuesday mornings.

After the service, they had a great church dinner for the combined church families, as well as the newcomers. Pastor Carlos also graced the newcomers with a table set up for free clothing and shoes. It was a great time and the effect of the ministry to this greatly impoverished, depressed area was fabulous.

I can’t thank the Lord enough for what He has done, is currently doing, and will continue to do in Los Cabos—until the area is transformed by the power of God. I also can’t thank Him enough for entrusting Richard and I to impart to and care for this area and for the inexpressible joy of being chosen to be a part of what God is doing in Los Cabos, MX.
