The Cofradia Kitchen is back up and running after taking a break during the summer. Each day, the kids receive food for their bodies and food for their soul before they head off to school. Thank you for investing in this ministry.
Shalom Chalet is cute little cottage owned by some Pastor friends of ours in Sequim, Washington, and rent it as an Air B&B. As a gift, they generously offered us a couple of nights there while we were in Washington this summer. It is advertised with "Relax Revitalize Renew" and that is exactly what you get! It was a very peaceful and relaxing stay for Geña and I. We spent a lot of time reading together, we went to Dungeness Park for the day and hiked down to the beach, and enjoyed the view of the bay from the dinning room window as we watched the sea lions bobbing in the water. It is definitely a fine place to consider for those who like to travel and stay at Air B&B's...or to try one out if you haven't before.
What a blessing! What a view! What a relaxing time!

We are currently congregating in an incredible area in the Bay, San Juan de Abajo, Nayarit. The people are wonderful, and the pastor is a great teacher and mentor. He mentors us with our marriage. Ernesto and Katy are attentive to detail, and they have so much love towards us, which had been such a gift!
We are also currently in contact with our church family in Tepic. Alan and Carito are taking their time in their walk in what needs to be taken charge of.😊
We are currently living in Bahia de Banderas, Nayarit, and God, being faithful to his promises, has opened the doors for us to open our carport this past May for gatherings. Currently, there have been seventeen people saved and today they walk in new life. They have accepted the life of a beautiful relationship with the Lord. This is one of the many things that has been occurring in our place.
We also finished a project we call Scoop.❤️🔥 This project entails that at the beginning of the day from 6AM to 7AM through Zoom; we pray and indulge ourselves in the word of God from Genesis to Revelation. We were able to finish this project on December 29th of this past year, and it has changed our hearts.
Be faithful to His word and glory be to God!🙌✨ We are expecting great things from God this upcoming year of 2024 and we are excited to see how the year unfolds. We are prepared to know Him more and help others know Him through us.❤️🔥🙌
Blessings to all!
Hello, we are the pastors Alan Contreras Magallanes y Carolina Reyes Serafin. We are the church Cofradia United Tepic and we are having services on Sundays. We are currently studying Andrew Wommak’s book A Better Way to Pray. We are so happy for what the Lord is doing with the ministry. The church is learning and growing in the Lord. We are also expectant for a new location for the church because we are growing and are currently located in our household. However, we are praying and believing for the Lord’s perfect timing.
Thank you for being part of this ministry of Cofradia United. We love you all and we are grateful for your service and for the love you all have for us! Blessings to our family through Christ Jesus.
Greetings to all our brothers in Christ.
We are pastors Rodrigo Romero and Annel Sánchez. We have the privilege of serving the church “Cordero y Leon” (Lion and the Lamb) in Culiacan, Sinaloa. On August 21stthe church will have its 5thanniversary. In these five years of ministry, the Lord has shown us His faithfulness in every moment and circumstance. We have seen his healing hand working in the hearts of each person of the congregation.
In these last couple months, His goodness has been unwavering and present in every moment. We began the course of Freedom in Christ and there have been many individuals and couples who have found healing and are now searching for the Lord. Many families have been touched by the love of the Lord. A mother and daughter who have recently found the Lord have provided some of their land as a meeting place for the congregation. The church used to meet in the garage of the small house my wife and I rent, but the location needed to be changed because we no longer fit. The new location has given the opportunity to grow certain areas of the church such as the kid’s ministry, which is growing rapidly. Apart from this, the new location is closer to the “Hospital for Women” where we share the Word of God, pray for the sick, serve coffee and have food drives with blankets on colder nights.
The first weekend in July we will be traveling to the Sierra mountains of Nayarit to share the gospel with the people group of the “Cuare” (click here to read a little about them). Apart from preaching we will be providing medical support, medication, and vitamins as well as toys and candy for the children. There will be fifteen missionaries who will go, and the expenses of the rental van, food, and gas comes down to $1,600.00 dollars for all of us. We will be working on raising the money for this trip with high hopes and with the grand expectation of what the Lord will do in this trip.

UPDATE: HERE IS A VIDEO REPORT OF THEIR TRIP:
----------------As for my wife and I’s own desires in our heart, we have been praying in our eight years of marriage to become parents. We are still trusting in the Lord. In faith, we have begun a fertility treatment. However, even though we currently do not have the economic resources to finance our treatment, we are still hopeful that the Lord will provide for all our needs.
We are all thankful for all our brothers and sisters in Christ who have taken the time to read this report. I pray that the Lord blesses you all in your spirit, mind and body. I share with you the verse that we have been ministering these past couple months.
“El que dice que permanece en él, debe de andar como él anduvo” (1 Juan 2:6)
“ Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.” (1 John 2:6)
