Our church in Rio Bravo is pastored by Santiago Hernandez and his wife, Edith, and their beautiful family. Bro. Santiago was amazingly healed from Guillain-Barre Syndrome about a year ago. God miraculously touched his body and spared his life, although he will always struggle with the effects of the syndrome. Pastor Santiago also pastors 2 missions in the city of Rio Bravo.

The church in Santa Apolonia, located about an hour and a half from the border, has just welcomed its new pastor - Bro. Jose Cruz, his wife Graciela and children Ruth and Isai.

What a fantastic idea this is! Thank you, Melodie, for bringing your world to life for us. Looking forward to more pictures of short people and lots of juicy details. Yay!
Great pictures. I visited some of these churches on my week-long missions trip back in high school. I think I have a picture of the Bethel church... I'll have to go back and see. Seeing the pictures brings back some great memories. One of the best memories is of the people's hospitality!
Thanks for the pictures...it has been twenty-five years or more since I spent time in the valley and attended all of the border churches...some by motorcycle (Texas gave licenses at 15) trying to keep up with Edwin Tomes (at night). Somebody was crazy.
I'm curious if there is still a work in Rancho Piedres. We spent several years there and turned it over to Bible Methodist Missions.
Lots of memories...thanks for the updates.
