…on November 6th after months of prayer and planning, Frank & Rebecca Arellanes report from a town close to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico!  God provided the only place in the entire neighborhood large enough to hold over 25 chairs at a bargain price.

Because some Christians had to travel a long distance to attend the Puerto Vallarta church, the Arellanes began a ministry in their La Misión neighborhood.  On January 9, 2016 they began with the AWANA program to reach unchurched children.

Frank & Rebecca recently wrote, “The women are reaching out to the neighborhood ladies through hospitality, ladies’ craft nights and discipleship.  The guys are busy learning how to lead, to visit and some are even venturing to preach for the first time in their lives.  This Sunday we had nine neighborhood kids show up in the rain without their parents.  The service was quite boisterous and enthusiastic and not just a little chaotic, but we were thrilled to have the kids worshiping Jesus with us.”
