The church has been an amazing blessing for everyone involved. The vision of our church is: To be a Missionary Church that shows the joy of the Lord. With this vision integrated into their daily living, Tim, the pastor, and the whole church continue to joyfully spread the love of Christ in this region "la Costa Chica."
The church"-Puerta de Salvación(Door of Salvation) la Mira-" celebrated its twelfth anniversary this year. God has been able to manifest himself mightily in our Church. Twelve years ago a small group of eighteen people began coming together under a tree. Today, the Church recently had to switch to a double service on Sunday mornings because the sanctuary isn't big enough to hold the whole congregation. Many lives have been changed, many challenges overcome, many prayers raised at this "Door of Salvation" in Ometepec.
The church has been the base of the Wood Ministry. Tim's ministry as pastor definitely occupies most of his time, Barb has been actively involved in the women's group, as a Sunday School teacher and co-director, greeter and many other odds and ends. Andy and Susie are involved in musical worship, youth group, running the projector and being the pastor's kids. Most of the other ministries Soccer, the Colegio(School), Camps and Hospital Chaplaincy are outreaches that introduce people to the gospel but growth comes mainly from participating in church. The "Door of Salvation" has for many people truly been an entrance into a better life in Jesus Christ.
Please keep the Church "Puerta de Salvacion la Mira" in your prayers. Pray for the unity and the missions the church supports in the towns of: El Ciruelo, Cochoapa, El Sepudo, Talapa and Pinotepa. Also please pray for the Youth Group Ministries and the mew families attending church.
