Success is not a numbers game ...

This past 6 months at Gracia del Calvario, God reached 10 new people, of which 8 have remained faithful in the church.

Here are their stories ....

This is Diana Ortiz who was invited to an event that was held in the church called "FRIEND'S DAY". She attended the following service on Sunday and God touched her heart and she gave her life to Christ and remains faithful in the church. Praise God!!

This family (Diego and América and their children) came to the church as a result of person-to-person evangelism. They both accepted Christ, remain faithful in the church and with a desire to learn and grow to do God's will. Hallelujah!

Bryan and Viviana are a young couple who have been in our church for a year and right now they are serving faithfully. Viviana serves at the welcome table and in various areas. Bryan serves in the Worship Ministry and transportation ministry at the church and they are about to get married in 2023.

Successful ministry may be defined as “faithfully serving the people God has placed under our care by leading them in spiritual growth through our example and the proclamation of Biblical truth.” At the end of the day, success in ministry can be measured if you see lives change and see people grow closer to God!

We are very blessed by the godly leadership of Pastor Daniel Anaya and his wife Luz. I meet with them weekly, in Mexico, and am overjoyed that they are carrying the torch that Jose Luis and I planted almost 12 years ago. What a blessing for us to be part of the fruit and the future of GDC. This is God’s church and to Jesus be the glory!
