Fall Outreach


Tonight we just hosted our 3rd annual fall evangelistic outreach. We try to put it on or near Halloween and El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead - big Mexican Holiday on Nov. 2). The idea of our event is to offer hope & joy, instead of focusing on witches, the dead, etc.

Each year, we're getting a little better in our efforts.

This year we added pozole (a traditional Mexican soup) for dinner and live Christian worship. We included various games, popcorn, face painting, crafts, etc, etc.

There were at least 85 children PLUS their parents that came (that doesn't include our GCH family & friends).

The gospel was clearly presented by Pastor Martin Castro and people were given the opportunity to receive Christ for the first time in their lives. We praise God that tonight 15 adults made first time decisions to follow Christ and make Him the Lord of their lives.

We rejoice over all God did tonight and for allowing GCH to be a part of His plan! Tonight we all will sleep, joyfully, because we were able to see Him at work.
