    Bring Max Back!

    Central Plains Pastor Max Villatoro was deported to Honduras on Friday, March 20 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Max and his wife Gloria are the pastors of Iglesia Torre Fuerte in Iowa City.  Join us in prayer that Max can be reunited with his family and congregation, and join us in offering financial support to the Villatoro family.
