McDonough Christian Church, from the Atlanta area, has been a major participant with the Pachuca Project for several years. This year a work group came from McDonough and greatly blessed the Jubilee church plant in Pachuca. Jubilee had to move to a new rented facility which needed to be painted throughout the worship area and the two basement areas used for the children’s programs. It was a group of extremely hard workers, and they blessed the church and the IMPACTO team by their good humor, hard work, and great kindness. We were … [Read more...]

On February 21st, the Jubilee Christian Church celebrated its third anniversary as a church family.

The four members of our preaching team each took ten minutes to focus on a point of our theme, "Dare to Impact." The preaching and the music added together made the service special and a great blessing to those gathered. To prepare for the anniversary, the church held a prayer vigil on … [Read more...]

The Jubilee Christian Church plant in Pachuca is beginning a month-long process to prepare a new location as a center for worship and ministry. The contract on the present building ends March 15 and the owner wants to raise the rent significantly. The church leadership and missionary team felt that the new rent was beyond what was good stewarship for Jubilee, especially with the land purchase project in process. Jubilee’s new facility of three storefronts was actually used by the first church plant in Pachuca for about 7 years. Since they … [Read more...]

After months of hard work, Jubilee's youth group and New Life's youth group were able to get enough money together to go on our annual youth retreat. On the November 13th, we took 34 youth and leaders, to the Christian Youth Conference and Retreat in central Mexico. It was amazing to see everything that happened and the excitement the youth showed while we were there. We took one of the largest groups that went, which was very motivating. But the best thing was to see the unity of our group and their positive attitudes. They had a great … [Read more...]

Holding the celebration on the land helped to make the project more personal for everyone. After the service, we all headed back to the rented building to share tacos. The fellowship was authentic, and there was an energy and hopefulness about what God … [Read more...]

It's our goal that all the members of the church plants in Pachuca be members of cell groups that meet throughout the city. As each of these groups grows, they "multiply" by becoming two groups. Recently, we've had two cells multiply. The Tulipanes Cell group was reaching 25 people on Wednesday evenings. The group leaders, Agustin and Pilar, had done a wonderful job as the cell pastors, but the size of the cell was well beyond its 14-member goal. On Wednesday, October 14, we held a "multiplication party" at the Duggins home. Almost all 25 … [Read more...]
