For those of you who have followed our blogs for any length of time, you have seen many photos of the Lomas del Sol Church (Iglesia Lomas del Sol). Nonetheless, you may not have realized the church had spread from the original foundations we poured, blocked, and filled in during the spring of 2014, to the lot next to the church. Pastor Carlos has been renting the lot for just a little under eight years now. During this time, there has been talk of purchasing the lot, but the owner wanted top dollar and−just in case you don’t know−land is a very limited commodity on our narrow peninsula and many times the property prices seem terribly unreasonable for very humble pieces of property. Each year, Pastor Carlos would contemplate whether or not he should move the church to a different location or stay at Lomas del Sol. During this time, however, nothing opened up and many times—even with the lot next to the original church—there has not been enough room and people have been overflowing into the street.
Finally, just last month, the “mother church” was moved from this original location to the Tierra y Libertad location. Lomas del Sol gave up the lot next to the original building, and Lomas del Sol became what Pastor Carlos calls a “mission church.” Tierra y Libertad has continued to be added to and improved on since its original construction and is now Pastor Carlos’ only church that can fit 200 to 300 people when all of the “missions” are together. Since we purposely did not build walls around the sanctuary area so there would be more available room, I must share with you that nighttime services from December to March are quite chilly. I often had so many layers on I could hardly move. With this new arrangement, I might actually have to break down and bring a lightweight winter coat to Cabo San Lucas−I know, if you come in the tourist season, it is hard to imagine.
When there is a special service with all of the churches and missions together, we can just barely fit. We are still praying and negotiating over the Quinta Real property, and Pastor Carlos was recently given the use of a large tent in great condition, which can seat 500. Watch this story closely, it is guaranteed to reveal God’s working as far as the land at Quinta Real!
