A Brief History:
Life Path Church has met in its building located in Colonia Morelos since 1990.

God provided this facility in a very special way as a tool for the Church to accomplish its God-given mission and vision. The location is unique because it is in a densely populated area in the center of the city. There are commercial areas nearby and two metro (subway) stations within walking distance. The building, previously a factory, has been adapted to serve the church’s purposes.

Over the years, the auditorium roof began to have serious leaking problems even with annual maintenance. The age of the building and the structure of the roof were complicating factors. In June of 2000, the congregation initiated a fund raising effort to permanently solve the problem. The Lord blessed those efforts and, armed with technical advice about material and methods, workers began the repair work in August of 2000.

The Unexpected:
Months before we started the roof repairs, a significantly strong earthquake shook Mexico City. There had been no apparent damage to the building. By August 14 the workers had about 80% of the job completed on the educational wing of the building. At noon, they got off the roof to take a lunch break. A minute after the last worker had climbed off, the building began to crack and the entire roof collapsed.

It fell on the first floor but was sustained by steel I-beams. At the moment of the accident, there were two women and a baby inside, but we thank God that they escaped uninjured. This incident caused an impact in our area of the city because the sealing was applied with propane gas and this began to escape, which caused the mobilization of emergency units. The local media, trying to find news, first reported that the collapsed building was a kindergarten. They had seen a sign on a Sunday School classroom identifying it as the “kinder” age.
