Where Are We?

Ever been on a tour and wondered, "Where are we? I'd love to see where all these places we are visiting are located on a map!" Well, here you go! 1) In the northeast of Mexico City is where you will find "The Lily of the Valley Retreat Center" in the town of Acolman, Mexico State. Acolman is on the outskirts of Mexico City and about 15 minutes away from the pyramids. 2) The Pyramids of Teotihuacan (teh-oh-tee-whah-CAN) are also in the State of Mexico near the town of San Juan Teotihuacan. 3) Iglesia Biblica Cristo Vive (Christ Lives Bible Church) is in the northeast Mexico City suburb of Ecatepec. Population of this city suburb: 3 million. Christ Lives Bible Church just recently celebrated their 12th anniversary! 4) For our current church plant, we are targeting an area on the edge of the suburb city of Atizapan de Zaragoza located in the northwest of Mexico City. There are another 2 million people in this suburb. We are making contacts with families near the southwest side of the lake you can see on the map, the Lago de Guadalupe (Guadalupe Lake). This is the area where both the Ruizes and the Mitchells live.

This coming weekend, the Camrose Team will come across the north side of Mexico City to Atizapan de Zaragoza. The Retreat Center and our Church Plant appear close on the map but those 45 miles will take at least an hour and a half to drive:) Our plans for the coming weekend: 1) a Friday evening party with our English class students where they can practise their conversation skills with some Canadians 3) on Saturday, a prayer walk and either a day trip in this area or time to just relax 4) on Sunday, participation in our small church service in our home.

Monday morning, the group returns to Acolman to do some more construction projects at the Retreat Center.
