Cofradia Kitchen Kids 2026-09

The Children's Soup Kitchen is back in service. As many of you know, the one who had the original vision and burden for this ministry went to be with the Lord in May. There was a pause in the feeding of the kids, but a daughter-in-law has agreed to continue feeding the kids each morning Monday through Friday. We do not know how long this commitment will be, but for the time being, it's active again. Thank you all for your help and contributions towards the kids.

 

Here are some pictures of this month...

 

 

 

 

Pastor Gregorio Hernández

Pastor Gregorio (Goyo) Hernández is the main pastor of Centro Cristiano Cofradía United in Cofradía. He has been ministering for over 25 years as the pastor. We recently featured his late wife in a previous update. 

 

After over 6 years of waiting, we are finally able to take one of our pastors up to the States. Pastor Goyo of Cofradía is our main pastor here and our co-laborer of leading Pastors who have become part of Cofradía United in Mexico.

 

We began our trip on Wednesday, September 23, as we flew into LA to participate in a few activities over the next few days. On day one, we directed a Christening ceremony of a friend's boat in San Diego, Pastor Goyo spoke at Ebenezer Church in Riverside, we visited our friend and Cofradía United Board Member, Frank Jimenize, and we spoke at Templo Calvario (Calvary Bakersfield) bilingual church on Sunday. It has been a huge blessing to have him with us.

 

After driving over night from Bakersfield to Woodland Park, Colorado, we made it to the Global Minister's Conference at Charis Bible College where Emma is attending. We have extremely enjoyed our time here meeting other ministers around the globe and being fed the Word of God during the week; every message has been so applicable and challenging. I can't wait to share what we've learned with the pastors of Cofradía United.

 

We will be heading to Washington State on Saturday, October 3rd, and look forward to visiting with everyone there. We will be attending Gateway Poulsbo on Sunday the 4th, and Pastor Goyo will be visiting his brother one day who lives in Seattle, yep, I was surprised, too.

This is a great opportunity for many to get to personally meet Pastor Goyo and maybe see him again if you've been to Cofradía and have already met him. We trust the conference will continue to be a blessing and our time in Washington as well.

 

Your partnership with us through Cofradía United USA or our personal support is helping us expand our pastors' worldview and Raise Up Leaders in Rural Mexico. Pastor Goyo has thoroughly enjoyed this week and has mentioned to me that it feels like a new beginning for him. Thank you so much for partnering with us.
