One of the earliest projects of Puentes de Dios targeted a struggling congregation in Chiapas, Mexico's most impoverished state.  The state may be familiar to you because of the Zapatista Revolucion of several years ago.  In the mountain town of Chenalho, a small group of believers had formed the Good Smaritan Baptist Church.  Their little group of about a dozen people met in a blue and white wooden shack which had been a shed on a landowner's property.  The believers owned a piece of land nearby, but could not afford to build a house on it.
