27 de Febrero Church

Villahermosa, Mexico

Pastor Juan Lozano, Evangelist        

January 10 to 25, 2003

An evangelist most his career, Juan Lozano is not giving it up in his retirement. A pastor, church administrator and theology teacher in Spain, he was doing "Global Evangelism" even before the program was launched by Robert S. Folkenberg three years ago. Since completing the series of meetings in Villahermosa, he has been making plans to conduct another series in Chiapas.

Lozano came to the 27 de Febrero church with sponsorship by Spanish businessman Pascual Soret (also preaching one of the campaigns in Mexico), and found a strong supportive pastoral staff and membership who helped him throughout the series of meetings.

In addition to efforts of friendly greeters and technical staff, the members worked to welcome every visitors from a variety of classes of the population. "In several cases I visited the homes of families in crisis," Lozano said. "And many of them decided to be baptized," Lozano said.

Both adults and youth provided inspiring music throughout the series of 16 meetings at the "27 de Febrero" church which is near the center of Villahermosa. Its membership represents virtually every level of society in this cosmopolitan city.
