The Border Churches

We have 4 Bible Methodist Churches and several missions located relatively close to the US/Mexico border.

Let's begin with our church in the village of Soledad, pastored by long-time pastor and our Mexican Legal Representative, Homero Luna and his precious wife, Esther.

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.

Saltillo

The beautiful city of Saltillo is in the state of Coahuila, about 4 hours from the US/Mexico border. The Bible Methodist Church in Saltillo is pastored by Pastor Dolores Hernandez, his wife Sylvia and their precious family. Pastor Dolores is also serving as the National President of the Mexican Bible Methodist Church.

There are 2 Bible Methodist missions in the state of Zacatecas, just to the west of the city of Saltillo. They are in the villages of Sabana Grande and San Antonio. These are also pastored by Pastor Dolores. Pics of these locations coming soon!

Up in the mountains east of Saltillo sits the Bible Methodist Church in the village of Galeana. This church is pastored by Pastor Alejandro de la Rosa, one of our longest-serving pastors. This church's remote location and distance from our other churches makes it a lonely outpost at times, but both pastor and people are laboring faithfully to serve God in the mountains of Mexico.

San Rafael

In the small town of San Rafael on the edge of Hwy 57 in north central Mexico sits the Clara Avery Memorial Chapel. This Bible Methodist Church is pastored by Pastor Alejandro Cedillo and his wife and family.

Guanajuato

Guanajuato is a state in central Mexico where 2 Bible Methodist Churches are located.

First, let me acquaint you with the pastor and church in the village of Pedregales de Barroso. Pastor Manuel Navarro and his wife Macedonia have been faithfully laboring in this location for 16 years and are preparing now for the Church Anniversary Celebration and Annual Revival in just a few weeks.

Oaxaca

Now let's move to our very exciting work in the state of Oaxaca, in the southern part of Mexico. Pastor Desiderio Lopez has labored faithfully in this mountainous region to pastor and shepherd a large congregation in the town of San Gabriel. Not only that, but to disciple other young men and women to plant churches in the mountain villages of Oaxaca.
