We are headed to Chicago, Illinois, today to learn about our missionaries, Mario and Julieta Aguirre. They moved from Mexico to Chicago with their two children and settled in Gage Park, a neighborhood on the southwestern side of the city, where many Hispanics have settled in recent years.
In April 2014 Mario and Julieta opened their home to neighbors for coffee, prayer and meditating on God’s Word. The gatherings grew and in November of 2016 they planted Dios Con Nosotros Community Church, which in English is God With Us Community Church. Our church has helped this new work because we support Mario and Julieta through our Cooperative Program giving.
They minister mostly to first- and second-generation Hispanics and they have been amazed and grateful to see how God has transformed lives and restored broken families in their Gage Park neighborhood.
More recently Mario and Julieta have started a new home group they want to become a new church. They have asked that we pray for a strong leadership team and that the new church will find its own building for worship in the community. Can we pray now for our missionaries?
