Tierra y Libertad:  Movie Night Outreach

6/12/2017

Our first extended stay in Los Cabos was during the first part of 2011. We helped Pastor Carlos Maciel add onto the small home that came with his church property. We also helped excavate and lay the foundation and knee wall of what is the Cristo es el Camino mother church today. During that stay, Pastor Carlos decided to have a movie night. We utilized white, plastic chairs on the leveled dirt inside the knee wall and projected the movie on a taught, white bed sheet. We watched a scratchy version of the famous movie, The Cross and the Switchblade with Pat Boone. It brought back fond memories of youth group activities when I was young.

Fast forward six years later…  Richard and I were sharing with Pastor Carlos how, for many years, we had activities on Friday nights for the residents of Holton, MI, where we lived and operated a Christian Community Center. That brought back memories of former movie nights in Los Cabos and the three of us decided to do a double feature—over two consecutive Friday nights—at the mission church in Tierra y Libertad.

I can’t say the crowd was huge, but the local children were thrilled they could actually attend a movie, eat popcorn, and drink soft drinks at a location near their homes. Richard was at the church working on construction earlier in the day, and the local children started asking when the movie would be showing.

The fellowship was great and the message presented by the Christian cartoons shown first, as well as the main feature, was very clear. If you had been there to see the faces of the children in one of the poorest areas in Los Cabos, you would probably be so blessed you’d be ready to sign up for any future movie nights!
