FROM ONE FAMILY TO ANOTHER

Joe and Lynette Rainer and son from Minneapolis.

From the family of Joe and Lynette Rainer to the family of Pastor Gerardo Estrada and his wife Miriam!  A 2001 GMC Yukon!  A vehicle that is greatly needed by the church and by their family!  Thank you, Joe and Lynette and your family for this generous and most useful gift!

There are many in the church in Nuevo Progreso who cannot walk to the church for services.  Some are elderly and others have small children and maybe a great distance to walk.  Pastor Gerardo and Miriam constantly visit the sick and needy in homes all over town.  When it's raining and the streets are muddy, it's difficult to get to the church.  This vehicle will be used to transport people to services and special events.  And since the church is located on the east edge of Nuevo Progreso, transportation is needed back and forth to school for Gerson, Nahum, Dana and Esly. The GMC Yukon is well equipped for the rough and unpaved roads in the colonias.

Up to this time, Pastor Gerardo drove a 1996 Ford Explorer that was paid for by friends in Bethalto Church of God, Bethalto, Illinois.  The Ford Explorer has served them well for the last six years, but is beginning to wear out and needs lots of repair.  It was time for a replacement.

Thank you, Joe and Lynette Rainer, for giving a gift that will keep the church moving forward in Nuevo Progreso!

Gerardo and Miriam Estrada with their children, Gerson, Nahum, Dana and Esly.
