Christ Lives!

Near the city of Santo Domingo you'll find a small community called Christ Lives. Yet, this is only the name of the town; in reality, the borough ought to be called Satan Lives because of the wickedness of the inhabitants. Every day during a two-month period, the pastor from Tablada Church of the Nazarene visited this town with the purpose of sharing Christ. Little happened.

Discouraged, the pastor along with the Jesus Film coordinator decided to show the film inside homes due to the frequent and heavy rains during the rainy season which prevent public showings. After one month of prayer, she asked local residents to open up their houses to view the film. Miraculously, many consented. As a result, people have received Jesus.
Today, the pastor has a new group of believers and they are planning to start a new Nazarene Church plant. In addition, God has enabled them to organize a new medical team to assist the poor within the community. It appears now that in this town . . . Christ Lives!!!
