Andres lives in the mountains of La Arrayan, Nayarit. The small community of La Arrayan is located approximately five hours away crossing rough terrain. They live off of the land. They raise goats and pigs and grow their own vegetables.
Andres was ordained as the pastor of the congregation in La Arrayan by Pedro Colima. The Salas family has a strong desire to reach all of the surrounding communities for Christ. They often travel four hours by foot to share the gospel to the surrounding communities. They currently have approximately 50 people attending their church including those that come from the surrounding communities. They are also helping with a new work in Huitalota, a small community of about ten families. Their goal for 2009 is to begin establishing churches at some of these communities.
Recently Andres married Linda Simon. Linda Simon has been a part of the Agua Viva family for several years. They will be working together to reach La Arrayan for Christ.
