By: John GreenThe Lord works in many different, wondrous ways. Mynor Canel came to the United States from Guatemala in 1978 when he was 15 years old to join his parents in Los Angeles. He met his wife Isis in Los Angeles and got married in 1990, and became a permanent resident of the U.S. in 1987. He had a burning passion in his heart to help the Guatemalan people, but was not sure how to fill that burning desire until he met our pastor, Van Cochrane, on a missionary trip to Guatemala. With this fateful meeting God seemed to clarify to Mynor that Cincinnati was the place he was to minister to his Guatemalan people. After much needed guidance from God combined with several trips to Cincinnati over three years, Mynor, along with his family, were led to leave their home and family in Los Angeles and come to Cincinnati to minister and share God’s love to the Hispanic people living in the Price Hill area. Their calling was to not only share the Gospel with them but to share God’s love with them in very practical ways and model the wondrous love of God. Mynor felt led to plant a church in the lower Price Hill area that will not only provide a place to meet with God in worship and teaching but will help provide some of the important community needs. The needs could include educational and social services assistance, as well as counseling, and training. The “church” would be available and doing Kingdom work seven days a week. There are many needs to be filled, and part of Mynor’s initial efforts will be determining the highest priority needs and a plan to fill them.
Development of a local leadership team is a key part of Mynor’s approach to this ministry. His heart’s desire is to develop several men and women in the area into growing and maturing Christ followers who can help lead this work. His vision is for this team to help lead and develop a church that will grow to support over 150 members, complete with Life Groups that can function as a church and community center within the next 3-5 years.
