We were introduced to a wonderful couple while attending a wedding two years ago. The couple, Pastors Cesar and Sara Sotomayor, run a local restaurant named La Mesa Poblanal, which has a winsome but strong Christian witness. Cesar and Sara also pastor Centro Cristiano Aviva Cabo Church.
Recently, Eljah Annacondia, son of and event planner for Caros Annacondia, asked if he could meet some of our area Christian business people on his visit he was planning. We said sure and got the idea to try to pull together a dinner for the area Christian business people in a week and a half. It has been on our hearts to start a Christian Businessmen/women’s Association but the idea was still on our ‘to do’ list when this opportunity arose. We called Pastor Cesar, whom we haven’t seen in several months, and asked if we could have the dinner at his restaurant. He just started crying from overwhelming joy. Within the last year, he and his wife sat down and talked about making the sacrifice to apply to sit under Carlos Annacondia for ministry training, and we called to see if he could host Carlos’ son, Elijah, at a dinner at his restaurant—what a ‘divine appointment!’
When we sat down the next day to talk and pray with Cesar and Sara, they gently shared the financial struggle their business is currently having—due to no fault on their part (the hurricane left many months with little to no tourism and fewer snow birds in town)—but both Cesar and Sara declared they still wanted to pay for the dinner for our small, but elite group of businessmen/women. They then shared that the Lord had recently challenged them to close on Sundays, even though they serve at least three times more food on Sunday than any other day of the week. As Cesar struggled with what the Lord was asking him to do, the Lord told Cesar he would give him a sign the following day, which was Sunday. Cesar recounted how the Holy Spirit came into their service with a special, heavy presence. There was a great hush all over the sanctuary, and then the people began to weep uncontrollably in the presence of God. All at once, one woman who could hardly walk with a cane, started screaming, “I’m healed! I’m healed!" At least two or three more people put their hands on places where they used to have great pain but were now healed by just the presence of God. Pastor Cesar, himself, fell down under the presence of the Spirit, with a special, personal visitation from the Lord.
Through divine intervention, the Lord has just given them a new building, in a much more trafficked location. They are a lighthouse in Los Cabos and the new location will put them in a place of righteous influence, but they need a financial miracle. Please pray for their business, that they will prosper, and for the protection of their church and young family.
