Celebrating One of God’s Servants – Feliz Cumpleaños Santiago
Pastor Santiago just turned 76 and a True Path Ministry team was on hand (Saturday, July 23rd) with many others to celebrate (Stephen and Tonyia are in the USA). Martin, Juan, Romero and Marcos, another brother in Christ from Chona also made the trip. They took a guitar, an accordion, a sound system and a power generator – there is no electricity at the church there.
It is a difficult two and a half hour drive from Galeana to Refugio. The road is mostly dirt and rough. It is up and down the side of mountains and in an active creek at times. But, it was worth the drive as it was a great day praising our Lord and celebrating Santiago’s life. He has been the faithful Pastor in the village for many years and lives life raising up the name of Christ. Feliz cumpleaños!
