George & Jan Waterman - Vamanos Community Ministries - Mexico
Vamanos! Means “let’s go!” in Spanish.
In Matthew 28:19 Christ commands
his followers to go into all the world to share the message of his
saving grace. The people of Reynosa have many needs,
both material and physical, but their primary need – like people the
world over – is to know that God loves them. Vamanos! Community
Ministries seeks to meet the needs of the whole person and the whole
community, through practical work projects and person-to-person
ministry opportunities for sharing the Gospel
Vamanos! Community Ministries was begun in 1997
by George and Jan Waterman to serve the people of
Reynosa,
Mexico. The
vision soon became a reality as God miraculously provided the
beautiful rural land (donated by a Mexican pastor) where the camp is
situated, about 15 miles outside the city of
Reynosa. Today, Camp Piedra Angular (“Cornerstone” in English) has a wonderful
all-purpose dining/residence hall with fully equipped kitchen and
two bathrooms. The camp has sleeping facilities for up to 80
persons. There is an equipment storage building, and our own water
treatment facility. We have a fully equipped
chapel for group meetings and local church services. Additions are
begun as God supplies the fund. We operate totally by faith. We make
our camp facility available to the Mexican churches in our area to
hold pastors leadership meetings, training sessions, women’s
retreats, banquets and special outings. Our goal is to proclaim
Christ in both word and deed. Our desire is to serve Christ, His
church, and the Mexican community in which He has planted us. The
future is in His hands.
