 Bruno Zapata, his wife, Teresa, and his daughter, Karen, have been supported by the Village Church of Christ for 20 years. Bruno graduated from the Alpha Omega Bible Institute in Little Rock, AR in 2002. This institute was designed to prepare Hispanic men to become preachers in Church of Christ ministry. After graduating from the Alpha Omega Bible Institute, he was immediately hired by the Iglesia de Cristo in Hot Springs, AR.

After serving as the full- time preacher in Hot Springs for three years, Bruno was inspired to return to Mexico to start a church. Our Village Church of Christ got wind of the situation and interviewed Bruno for a possible church plant in Mexico.

Our Village Church eventually built a beautiful church building in Coatzacoalcos , as the Church had proven itself to be an established, stable congregation. Many of the original core members are still there after 20 years.

Over the years, Bruno and his family have had the opportunity to return to the Village and speak during Mission Week on two separate occasions. Bruno and Teresa and the Iglesia de Coatzacoalcos are extremely excited at the present time, as Fernando Toledo of the Gospel Chariots has introduced the Gospel Chariots to Bruno in hopes that they may share collaboratively in the future. The Village Church has been blessed with a successful mission in Mexico.
