Lori Neighbor

Lori is a breath of fresh air! This Woman of Value was born and raised in Redding, California. She has two son's, one daughter and three grandchildren. Lori's mother was a gifted, anointed church organist who passed on her love of God and music to Lori.  Both of Lori's sons serve on the church worship team. Together they have ministered in Guadalajara and in several outdoor locations around Lakeside. She has produced a couple of wonderful CD's which continue to usher in the Holy Presence of God! Lori is a pastor's granddaughter, and Pastor Gary's adored wife. Lori and Gary dated in high school, got married and have ministered extensively in Mexico since 2004. While living in the USA, they ministered together in California, Colorado and Kansas for 16 years. Gary was asked to pastor Abundant Life church in San Antonio Tlayacapan in 2006. After personally participating in the monthly Sisterhood Bible studies for women who attend Abundant Life Church, I learned about the many outreaches Lori has been involved in throughout her life. This post is to encourage you to personally take time to get to know Lori.  Her children call her blessed, and so do I!  Locally, Abundant Life Church serves Chapala, Ajijic, Riberas del Pilar, Jocotopec, San Juan Cosalá, and surrounding communities. And through our emphasis on missions, we serve communities throughout Mexico and around the world. Abundant Life Church began in 2003 in the home of a local believer who believed that God wanted to meet and transform the English speaking community in the lakeside area.  Soon a local fish market was purchased and our current building was built through a joint venture with the Assemblies of God USA department of missions and the Assemblies of God México.  The church began Spanish language ministry in 2006 when our current pastor, Gary Neighbor, came.  Since then, the church has grown to include children´s, youth and adult ministries in both English and Spanish.  The church currently has 2 daughter churches in different municipalities giving supervision and ministry.  Abundant Life Church has a heart for the lost and is always included in the list of churches highlighted by the denomination for her giving to missions.
