MEXICO
Muzquiz, a beautiful and
traditional mining city located 130 km north of Monclova in the State
of Coahuila, Mexico; is surrounded by spectacular mountain landscapes.
The
Kikapu Indians are important in the history of Muzquiz. They settled in
Coahuila in 1850 as border guardians in exchange for the land where
they now live near Muzquiz, in a place known as “Nacimiento”. They make
leather items, beadwork, and laminated metal products.
In the
summer of 2002 a team from Christ The Rock began reaching out to three
villages in the remote mountains of the State of Coahuila, Mexico. Our
desire is to build bridges from CTR to the families of Mexico, breaking
the barriers of cultural differences and sharing the hope of Christ.
We are building relationships with:
- Various churches in the city of Musquiz
- Families in villages of El Azteca and District 28
- Children in orphanages
- The elderly in nursing homes
