Activities like summer soccer, Take-Out VBS, a school supply drive, and others, are helping Pastor Jorge build relationships in the community as he begins to develop a community of faith.

Immanuel is supporting Cristo Obrero financially as a mission development congregation and we are responding to requests for assistance as we are able.
