Journey Church's Mexico Outreach (JCMO) built partnership relationships with the following three in the Louis B. Sanchez area:
Iglesia Bethel
Iglesia Bethel
Pastor Sergio
Rezo
Iglesia Bethel is located in Louis B. Sanchez and is
shepherded by Pastor Sergio. He and his wife Lydia are actively involved in the
ministry. Lydia initiated and is in charge of the Bethel Niño
Ministry-a children ministry program supported by Journey Church's Mission Ministry.
As in most cases, the church cannot support a full time pastor.
Consequently, Pastor Sergio work a day-laborer on the surrounding farms
during the week.
Iglesia Eben-Ezer

Pastor Maria
Iglesia Eben-Ezer is located in a small
Ejidos community (i.e., a community the owns and farm their own land) outside Louis B. Sanchez. Pastor Maria is heading the church and is assisted by her son-in-law
Fernando, daughter Brenda and other family members. This is a small, but very devoted church. Eben-Ezer is one of our VBS sites and during our last trip (2007) the Eben-Ezer youth
participated in VBS as the drama team that presented the Passion of
Christ story.
Iglesia Bunen Samaritano
Iglesia Bunen Samaritano
Pastor Rafael (Rafa)
Pastor Salvador (Chava)
Iglesia Buen Samaritano is also located in a small
Ejidos community (i.e., a community the owns and farm their own land)
outside Louis B. Sanchez.
Pastors Rafa and Chava co-pastor this small church and
are assisted by Chava's brother Ángel. This is a close knit church family that is very devoted
to their faith. Buen Samaritano was the site of our 2007 construction project.
A small team of 5-6 of us repaired some water damage to the walls, replaced the side
entrance door, and painted the church. While we were busy with the construction project
the local women made new curtains and on the last night in Mexico we could all worship
together in a newly painted and clean church.
