We're so glad you're here for the service this morning. We had dinner last night with Carlos and Sylvia Garcia and they have an incredible ministry in Juarez and we've been going there as a church for over 10 years to do different things at different times.

Mexico now, just like Columbia trying to do better; trying to stop this murdering -wholesale murdering and change the way things are in Mexico but they're trying to do it without Jesus which is impossible. But do you understand that many people including many who are members of this church and some who are in this ...
