COMMUNITY: Renacer
CHURCH: Fuente de Vida

• POPULATION: 130 homes and 130 families

• DESCRIPTION: It is a new community near San Benito and was established 5 years ago. The land was given by the government. Most people have to travel 5 km to work on the Canteloupe and Watermelon farms, while others work at the cardboard factory. Many people have temporary jobs. Because there is no school in the community, the kids have to go to a nearby Marvin Salazar community for elementary school and to the city of San Benito for high school.

• INFRASTRUCTURE: A few people have their own well which provides water for their neighbors, other people that live farther away receive water from a city pipe twice a week. There is no electricity in the community but some people manage to borrow power and have a lightbulb.

• WORSHIP SERVICES: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5pm, Sundays at 10:00am

• OTHER ACTIVITIES: Door to Door Visitation twice per week; Sponsorship Bible Clubs on Saturdays at 9am and 12:30pm; Youth Group on Saturdays at 5pm
