| Zabdi Lemuel Alanis Cantu |
A new pastor was appointed Sunday evening for the Church of God in Nuevo Progreso. Zabdi Lemuel Alanis Cantu came to us from Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico where he pastored a Church of God for several years. Brother Jorge Leal, Overseer of northern Mexico, told us how he called on Zabdi about the position a few days ago. His response was his need to pray for guidance and confirmation. Wednesday, May 2nd at 1:00 in the afternoon, he called Brother Leal to say he had made his decision. He sensed the call to come to Nuevo Progreso.

Five other district pastors were with us when Brother Leal introduced Zabdi to our congregation. Brother Oliver Altamirano was given the honor of symbolically presenting Zabdi with keys to the church and parsonage. Then the pastors gathered around him and with the laying on of hands, made the appointment official.
