"MORE THAN A VICTORY..."

“In everything we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us.  I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future,  and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God’s love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord!”  Romans 8:37-39 CEV

Pastor Gerardo and his family Christmas 2016.

It has become our tradition to take a picture of Pastor Gerardo and his family every year at Christmas. In this way for the past nine years we have established a record of their growing family.  Not only that, but we’ve recorded the faithfulness and commitment of Pastor Gerardo in the good times and in the bad.

Sometimes the church takes one step forward in progress and then problems come along and the church takes two steps back.  

The Bible tells us that many things will challenge the body of Christ - life and death events,  angels or spirits, things of the present or the future,  and powers above or below.  But it also says in Romans 8: 31 - “What can we say about all this? If God is on our side, can anyone be against us?”

Progress and growth of a tree can best be measured by the fruit it bears.  Many people have been touched and blessed by Bethesda Church of God in Nuevo Progreso, and that makes it very special. Visitors are welcomed as if they are part of the family, the family of God!
