Sorry about getting the blog mixed up...am just getting the hang of this and will I had put the Riveras Dedication in another blog that I had no clue I had....Sorry!!

God Bless You!!
Just wanted to give you a little update about what is going on in the Juarez area specially with the Missionary churches in Juarez. To start everything off, PLEASE PRAY FOR US! we are in need of prayer! El Porvenir (EP) and San Ignacio(SI) have been two of the towns that are being hit hard. The people living in El Porvenir and San Ignacio had till Abril 4 to leave the towns. We don't have any clue(which we kind of do) but notes has been put up in both towns that they must leave OR ELSE. Or else meaning, Housing being burn down and killing of Innocent people. As I write this I have tears in my eyes but WE do not deserve this. Lucio and I were not able to go to San Ignacio today and it seems that all this week we wont be going because of what is going on. To make matter worst the leaders in El Porvenir have had to leave there home en El Porvenir, and now are at the dorms in El Millon since they have no other place to go. People are being told to leave their homes, but where do they go, If they don't know of anything else. A sister in San Ignacio has said to us that she is not going anywhere. That she will stay put because she has no where to go, she has put blood and sweat into making her house and home. Please please, when ever you think of us, Pray for the members and people here. Thank God everything is staying in that area of Juarez and that El Millon, Jesus Carranza and Riveras del Bravo nothing has happen. Of course, there are much more soldiers and police area town, but the sad part is that they are only in Juarez and forget about the valley of Juarez. Please pray and for those that are praying continue to pray!
We were talking to a young man in El Millon and were talking about this situation, and he said something to Lucio and I, that is true. "Things are bad in the area but at least you have a place to go, you just stay in El Paso and nothing could happen to you, but what about us"....
We had a great weekend! After a year of construction and many years of dreaming, the Riveras church is done!! This Saturday we had the dedication services. There was many emotions going on, but mainly very happy and thankful that the church is finish! We had few people from NMC including Pastor Dave and his wife with us this weekend. Here are a few pictures of what went on this weekend, we also had the privilege of hearing Pastor Dave preach Saturday and Sunday. From personal experience I think God made him preach just from Lucio and I, Thank You!
