At
Mountain View Community Church we take local and overseas missions
very seriously. We send and support a number of church planting
missions around the globe. We support them in prayer, financially, with
encouragement and visits. We comminted as a church body to uphold
them in our prayers. Therefore, we encourage you to write them
and pray for them as well. We have provided some basic prayer needs
along with each missionary.
“Therefore
go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything I have commanded you”
Matthew 28:19-20 |

Alfredo and Sandra, along
with their two sons, are Columbian church planters in Guadalajara,
Mexico. We have been long-time supporters of their ministry as
church planters in both Columbia and Mexico. The Beltrans are
working closely with middle class professionals in an urban area.
We are in partnership with the Mennonite Brethren Mission Board
in our support of the Beltran family. Alfredo is a graduate of
the seminary in Medellin, Columbia and is gifted in leadership
and has a dynamic vision for the church. Sandra has a real burden
for the lost and is gifted in the area of relationship building.
They began their ministry in Guadalajara in 2003 and the church
has continued to grow as people enter into a personal relationship
with Jesus and are baptized. They began their public church services
in 2004.
- For the new services that they started last
month
- For the new contacts that have been made
- That the group of young people they're working
with develope a strong commitment to God, his word, and his church
- That their testimony as a family would impact
the area they live in
- That they would be able to form a small group
in the home
- That their relationship with other churches
in Guadalajara grows stronger and that they would offer service
and support to them
