Marta - Guided by God's Hand

Marta's husband died one year ago. She wondered how she would support herself and her four children. She said the material from CPTLN encouraged and reminded her to trust God. With the encouragement from her friend, CPTLN staff member, Tere Montoya, Marta began a preschool and she began to listen to Tere's dream of a mission church in their neighborhood. That dream became reality when Lirio del Valle Lutheran Church began and Pastor Josue and his wife, Betty came to serve the people of Marta's neighborhood. The church sanctuary will be built next month but alot of neighbor people, including Marta, have put sweat equity into building the church community that is already worshipping in a provisional space on the church property. Marta tells us that God has not let her or her children go hungry and He has always provided everything they needed. Marta is a charter member now of the new lutheran mission in her neighborhood. She has a new dream.....perhaps a preschool or day care could be a part of the new mission's future. Marta is ready to serve where God may need her.
