Cristo Victorioso: Puebla --------------------------- Xatiti Kyakgapun: San Andres

Although there may still be snow on the ground and perhaps a brisk chill in the air, it is not too early to start thinking about Summer Missions. For the past 15 years, CEFC has sent short term teams every summer to Puebla Mexico to work with a congregation of believers that we a have come to know as our sister church, “Cristo Victorioso” (Victorious Christ). This summer we are planning on returning to Puebla for a dedication of the “Cristo Victorioso” church building. After the dedication we will travel to the northern mountains of the state of Puebla with some of our Mexican brothers in Christ from Cristo Victorioso. Our desire is to work together with them to build relationships and work on a construction project to prepare for a church building in a small village called San Andres. Masonry, concrete work and painting are on the agenda, while other maintenance projects will be made known as the trip draws near.

The trip this year will be more rugged than trips in the past. We will be working in a mountainous region where life seems to continue at the pace it maintained one hundred years ago. The main language of the town is an Indian dialect called “Totonac,” but the majority of the inhabitants speak Spanish as well. Cell phones won’t work and you can forget about internet access. It will be a brand new experience for our CEFC team, filled with opportunities to serve, learn and grow. Consider this trip and please pray about it. If you are interested in joining the team, or if you have any questions, please contact Len Noble or Jon Mountz.
