Cordero y Leon Church

Pastor Rodrigo and his wife Annel are the pastors of Cordero y Leon (The Lion and the Lamb) church in La Cruz de Elota, Sinaloa. Rodrigo is a native of Argentina and came to Mexico as a Missionary and worked with a ministry where he met Annel. They recently relocated from Culiacán, Sinaloa, to La Cruz after feeling led by the Lord to minister to some friends and individuals who needed restoration. Their pastoral hearts and compassion for the people have been a cool refreshment in the desert of these peoples' lives.

This November, they will be celebrating 10 years of marriage. For those ten years, they have been praying for a baby. Last month, after having tried many forms of help with no success, they became pregnant without any of the medical help they had received. It was a joyous moment until they found out a week later that the baby never formed, but her body thought it was pregnant, thus giving a false test. Through all of this, they are rejoicing in the fact that they were able to get pregnant and are expecting the Lord will bless them with a baby in the near future. Please join us as we pray for them. Pray for life and strength in both of them.

One of the things they love to do is to go up into the mountains with the indigenous people group called Los Kuares who, when they started going, was an unreached people group. They led their interpreter to the Lord who was the first of his community to meet Jesus. Since then, that young man has been leading Bible studies and was baptized as well. It has been a couple of years since they've been able to go, but here is a post from their last visit up there. Some of you donated towards this trip. Thank you!

Rodrigo has not been back to Argentina for almost 15 years. One of their desires is to go visit again and spend some time with his family and meet up with some of his old friends and mentors. This will incur extra expenses for them, but is very needed. I know what it is like to be away from family and friends, but not for that long. When we took our sabbatical in 2019, it changed my life. I trust this will be the same for them as they rest and reflect.
