Tomás Ynguanzo Tejera has been pastor of the Heriberto Rodríguez Baptist Church in Ranchuelo since the year 2000. The congregation meets in the apartment Tomás shares with his wife, Raquel, in the suburbs. The couple once lived on the third floor, but moved to the first floor to make it easier for the older church members to attend services. In mild weather, the congregation of 60 members meets in the garden (above) behind the apartment building.

"We live in a strategic area," says Ynguanzo, and we expect our community to grow. To meet the needs of the area, a mission has been formed (El Remanente Fiel) which is pastored by Yudit Ynguanzo Rodríguez, Ynguanzo's daughter.
