picture gallery > Pasarela Inauguration in Comecayo! (11)

November 10th, Nueva Jerusalem Church and the Comecayo community celebrated the long awaited and newly finished pedestrian bridge (or pasarela in Spanish). The bridge allows people to safely cross the Pan-American highway at the intersection of two schools and the church. Given the heavy traffic and high speeds, several accidents and deaths resulted from people trying to cross the street. The collaboration of the local church, local governement, and the schools created new relationships, unity, and transformation in Comecayo.

Pasarella!

Due to the heavy traffic on this important stretch of the Pan-American Highway, the bridge assembly took place in the middle of the night a few days before the dedication. Despite the late hour, church and community members celebrated with fireworks, typical food, and music.
Leadership and Service

Rafael González, Pastor of Nueva Jerusalem Church addressed the audience during the dedication of the pedestrian bridge. Praising God for the completion of the project he read Psalm 127:1, "Unless the Lord builds the house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good."
Celebration

About 150 students, teachers and the Band of Peace from Manuel Monedero School in Comecayo joined the celebration. In the last ten years five children were killed trying to cross the road, which made the bridge construction a priority for the whole community.
Gratitude

About 200 people gathered in the Nueva Jerusalem Church parking lot to be part of the celebration, thanking God for the successful completion of the project.
Unity and Teamwork

Rafael Gonzalez, Pastor of Nueva Jerusalem Church, Francisco Reyes, Community Association Representative, the Christian School Principal, the Public School principal, and Alfredo Vargas, ENLACE Operations Department Director, worked together for a year and a half to make the dream of a pedestrian bridge a reality.
Saved Lives!

Public school students and teachers celebrated with great joy. Many lives will be saved thanks to the effective work of the church and community.
Government Support!

Wilfredo Vargas, Mayor's Office Representative, expressed the desire of the local government to continue partnering in the process of community transformation.
Oficially Open!

Alfredo Vargas, ENLACE Operations Department Director, had the honor of cutting the ribbon signaling the end of the long construction process that began in September 2010.
Thankfulness

Many in the community gathered to thank God and recognize that without Him nothing would have been possible!
Encouragement!

On behalf of ENLACE, Alfredo Vargas encouraged all the attendees to continue working and building relationships--the most important outcome of any community project.
Life and Friendship!

The bridge represents security for hundreds of people as well as new life and friendships formed between the community and the local church.
