Ciudad Luz Queretaro

Key Ministry Leaders: Ariola Vargas, Mauricio + Cynthia Munguia

Ciudad Luz Queretaro, started as a coffee shop outreach and now gathers 20-30 weekly church members and reaches out to the community through evangelistic bible studies and feeding families at the local hospital every month.

“Because of Citylight’s partnership, we have shared the Gospel with more than 400 people in the last couple of months and are discipling some of these people one-on-one. We've been praying for the Rivera family. They have had many struggles but are now attending church weekly - which is transforming their kids! They are also now servant leaders at the church.

A college student named Tona came as a non-believer to the coffee shop. We've seen her transformation through the past months. Now she is actively participating in our outreach activities, proclaiming the Gospel and praying with people. We pray that our church plant keeps growing and that all attendees grow in their relationship with God.

We also want to move to a bigger location because we have outgrown our current gathering space. We need a larger place and more hands to work at our ministry who share our same vision and mission.”

On the Ground Leader: Ariola Vargas

Ariola Vargas is a young entrepreneur, zealous for the gospel to transform the lives of her native Queretaro Mexico. After living in the USA as a student and learning about the strategy of Business As Mission, Ariola combined her passion for coffee and the

gospel, to build a gospel-driven enterprise that serves an area of Mexico where there are few faithful evangelical witnesses. IGI and Citylight Church help to support Ariola through prayer, encouragement, key funding, and entrepreneurial advice. We are praying for new initiatives in Queretaro and the surrounding area to present the gospel faithfully and mobilize Christians to serve regularly in nearby underserved communities. 

The Citylight Church in India under the leadership of Ravi Sharma oversees 9 house churches throughout the Delhi area and runs a Citylight Center from the main location, which provides livelihood and educational support to vulnerable kids in the community.

“Through the Citylight Center, we have preached the Gospel to 400 people, of which 100 have accepted Jesus as their Savior, and 12 have been baptized. In the service of Citylight Center, we are giving food to 70 to 100 street children every day. In the Citylight Center, 40 children are learning how to use computers, 30 women are learning to sew, and this number is gradually increasing.

With Citylight’s support, we have reached about 400 people in Delhi and Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Maharashtra. New churches will start soon in new places. Because of the Citylight Center, we now have the opportunity to reach and visit more people's homes.

When surveying some slums, many people told us that many organizations come here, but no one does anything. When we started our work there, many people began changing their minds about Christians and are now listening to the Word of God very carefully.

When we were doing a survey for Citylight Centre, we came across a family who was very troubled and living in a spiritually dark place. The father had huge debts and was thinking of committing suicide. When our team met them, they heard the Gospel. God freed them from the overwhelming sense of spiritual darkness they were facing. The family got baptized in the last few days, and their life is improving. Now this family comes to Citylight Church every Sunday.
