El Rubio


El Rubio is a little town about 45 minutes from San Jose de las Matas. Population 2000. Elevation 2500. The people there have an unusual thirst for the Good News. You see about years ago, there were 2 special pioneers that preached fervently in the town. Well, they planted the seed. However, soon after the preaching work began in the area, the special pioneers had to leave. I'm unsure of the facts related to the reasons why they left, but the fruits of their labor were evident. Two elderly women were baptized from this territory. Unfortunately, they died some time ago. Fast forward to 2010. We have had the privilege to start preaching in El Rubio since April-May 2010. Even though its a bumpy ride up the mountain, we have found great interest. They seem to remember the ring of the truth, and they are responding to the good news. We pray that Jehovah continues to bless our efforts.
