Madero

La Vinia was started in Madero in 1997, with a short term outreach team arriving to help this poorer community. The outreach was a tremendous success, and now, a decade later, La Vinia has purchased property and constructed a new church and feeding center here.

Pastor Dave and his wife Lolita lead the ministry efforts in Francisco Madero. There is a kid's feeding program is held every Saturday, and computer classes, for ages 8 to16, are also held every Saturday.

Project Smile has helped Madero set up a working washroom, chipped in with painting and general maintenance, and every year we distribute food and hold a party for all of the children and families of the area.

Madero has become a beacon of hope and help in a seemingly forgotten part of Mazatlan.
