New Church Members!

Meet the newest members (and in some cases believers) of Berith Presbyterian Church in Mexico City, México!
I hope that you will rejoice with me in the work that God is doing here in Mexico City through the CUR to promote, encourage, shape, and honor the local church. We are not Christians without a community and God is constantly increasing the reach of that very community!


(Janet, Sonia, Juan Carlos, Abigail, Liset, and Monserrat)

Making their public profession of faith.

Janet, Sonia, Abigail, and Monserrat's Baptism!

So you might understand the glory of what God is doing here more, I am including a translation of the short biographies for each new member that appeared in Sunday's bulletin:

Sonia is a Psychology student at the UNAM's FES Zaragoza campus. Raised Catholic, she heard the gospel on a CUR retreat and gave her life to Christ soon after.

Abigail studies Medicine at the UNAM. She has heard the gospel from an early age and God has worked in her life through many different forms, including her family, the CUR, and her friends at Berith.

Monserrat is an International Relations student at the UNAM with a particular interest in Sweden. She came to know Christ one year ago through the ministry of the CUR at the UNAM.

Janet studies International Relations at the UNAM. She began to attend the CUR through their English Club events and later came to know Christ through their Bible Studies.

By Profession of Faith

Juan Carlos studies in the Psychology Faculty at the UNAM. He heard the gospel from his mother and through the church his mother attended. God has used the CUR to confirm his calling and further his edification.
