a glimpse of the City of Refuge

What follows is an exciting excerpt of one of the visions of the current team in Tenancingo.

"...We were specifically praying, one Sunday, for two acres of land for the City of Refuge church planting project. We envision the city of refuge will provide healing for abused women and children, rehabilitaiton for alcoholics and drug addicts and, in the midst of all, a home for the Center for Church Planting (CCP). The CCP trains church planters, who will be equiped to preach, start church planting movements and, as Jesus through incarnational presence, bring salvation to the many wounded souls of this region.

The Sunday following the prayer for the land, a granddaughter of a former Mexican Govenor walked in the churh, having heard of the City of Refuge, but not knowing we were praying, and donated the 2 acres. Over a period of two months, many acres were added to the donation for purchase at a very low price - what may soon be a total of 16 acres."

The 10 day trip we will take this summer with 17 from the Christian Life Church youth group and three other churches will give us an opportunity to help with construction on the City of Refuge, as well as some evangelism and VBS.
