Presbytery of Chihuahua Supports Frontera de Cristo

It is with great joy that mission workers of Frontera de Cristo heard that the Presbytery of Chihuahua will join the Presbytery de Cristo in continuing to Pastor-Rodolfo-Pres-Chihsupport this important ministry.  The Presbytery of Chihuahua, a presbytery of the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico (INPM) met in late October 2011 at the Lilly of the Valley Church in Agua Prieta.  In the absense of official relationships between the national churches, the INPM and the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Presbytery was faced with the decision of whether or not to support Frontera de Cristo.  Exective board members were on hand for the discission, and Vice-President Rodolfo Navarette gave a presentation explaning Frontera's six areas of ministry, and calling on fellow delegates to continue working together with the binational ministry.  As a binational ministry, Frontera de Cristo cultivates relationships with many organizations on both sides of the US-Mexico border.  We are blessed that the Presbytery of Chihuahua feels called to join us in mission.

Letter from Jeni: The Future of Frontera de Cristo

Brothers and Sisters in Christ

On behalf of Frontera de Cristo I wish you joyous Christ-mas as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. In these challenging times for Frontera de Cristo we recognize through prayer that our work on the border fills a critical space that would leave a void if we ceased it. As the bi-national board of Frontera de Cristo stated this past September: "Frontera de Cristo sees the Hand of God working in the ministry on the Sonoran Desert borderlands, and as a board we feel the call to continue working together in this important ministry."

The past few months we at Frontera de Cristo have been working to create a vision for our future. Frontera's board members, interns, and other staff, as well as the National Presbyterian Church of Mexico (INPM), Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA), Presbytery de Cristo, and Presbytery de Chihuahua have been in prayer and working together in the Spirit of Christ to see our future.
