Pastor Bernado

Steve (taking the picture), Shane Craycraft, Marc Sankey and Tim Keep meet with Bernardo, pastor of the Oaxaca City Bible Methodist Church.

Pastor Bernardo, his wife, Arely and daughter, Estrella. God has done wonderful things for this family. Several years ago, Bernardo was illegally in the USA, he gave his life to the Lord and returned to Mexico, studied in our Bible Institute and began pastoring, first in one of our border churches and now in Oaxaca.
