Cedars
Christian School
Brings threefold education to o
forgotten Mexican village
By
RODNEY
G.
NORTHRUP
W
lo shoul apeople e forgotteo
and
left
without th e
gospel?
Puentes (The Bridges) has been
one of the forgotten villages of
southern
Nuevo
Leon,
a
Mexican state
lying
west
of
the
southern
tip of Texas. Puentes is
su r
rounded
by twenty-seven
other and s imilar
villages.
Corn,
beans, chili ,
and
children
ar e the
main crops. Scrawny
cows,
goats,
long-nosed
pigs,
and
fighting
cocks are the
animals chiefly ra ised. Oxcar ts
cut
deep
ruts in the primi tive dirt roads which wind
their
ways among desert palms, cactus, and
brush.
n
this area th e burro
or
th e
oxcar t
is the usual means of transportat ion.
Families average from six to sixteen
members and the only s teady means of
livelihood is cutting and preparing the fiber
of th e
sisal
plant.
A
man
working
very
hard can earn about
sixty pesos, or five
dollars
a week.
Mos t babies a rr iv e i n this w orld to be
greeted
by
Graimy
or occasionally by a
poorly-trained midwife.
Most

are set at home. Among these villages it

to
the
nearest doctor
or hospital, and

year

and
similar
diseases
take their
toll
among children,
pigs,
and

Mos t o f
th e
houses are

or palm trees with earthen floors
and
open
hemths .

is a room with one.

By

a

may escape having

Typical v lll afl t to ba banal lt ad by Cadar i Ch fi iti an Sdt oo l
pools of spring water, just a mile from
Puentes, caught
my
attention th e very
first
time I
was
in the area on behalf of th e
gospel. At the time I thought, This would
be a perfect spot for a Christian school
and summer campgrounds. But eight
years of praying and working in the area
were to pass before the thought was to
become
a rea li ty.
During
those eight years the
Lord added
to those
who
were being saved,
and
nine
small groups of Chiis tians were brought
into being
and
began meeting in the area.
Twenty other
villages
have asked for
Bible
teachers. The
congregation
in
t he near by
village of
Sandia has
sent four men the
1 60 m ile s
to
Saltillo Christian
School
on
Mountain
View Ranch
in the
neighboring
state of Coahuila
to
study
for
the ministry.
It
became
increasingly
apparent
that
an
other Christian
school
should
be
estab
l i shed
in
th e a re a o f Puentes .
About two years ago the Mexican gov
ernment began
to
remember
Puentes and
the
other villages in
southern
Nuevo Leon.
The tall towers
of
well dr ill ing rigs were
seen in and a round Puentes. The govern
ment dr il l ed e leven
wells and for
th e first
time irr igation waters
ran out
across
the
th irs ty land.
In February, 1963, a
Federal Cultural
Mission
came
in w it h e le ve n
technicians
to
t each the
villagers
how
to
do the many
things a county
home
demonstration agent
teaches
in
the United Stateshow
to
plant
vineyards, wheat, oats, broom
com, pota
toes, and
alfalfa, and
how
to
inc rease the
production of corn and beans. The govern
ment
is
now constructing
a
canal f rom
six
springs which will i rr igate more than five
hundred
acres
Within the past few years the material
lives of the people have been changed. At
harvest t ime,
there
was more money
to
spend, but this made spiritual needs even
more evident.
Many
families

still in
dire need because t he h ar ve st i nc ome was

taken
away by

bottle of wine, to be
followed by another and another. Irrigation
has changed the hopeless barrenness of
their lands to green fields
and
a harvest
Only
Christ
can
change them as spi ri tua
beings with the
hope
of life eternal .
Time
for
act ion
I
bad
been watching these changes care
fully and in the spring of 1963 I concluded
that
it was
now time
to
begin action on
the school I had visualized through the
years. During Easter week I talked with
Daniel Cavazos,
director
of the Mexican
Federal Cultur^
Mission 826
and with
Froylan Guerrero, minister of the congre
gation in Sandia, Mexico, describing my
long-cherished plan for a Christian schoo
an d
a
federal
school
to
be
built
around
th e
springs in the natural cedar park near the
>^lage of
Puentes
Together we visualized a school where
young men and women could learn trade
and be prepared to use the water that wa
now on the land. We saw a school wher
ministerial s tudent s wou ld receive thei
grade school, Bible and trade school train
ing at the same time. Here young men
would train
their
minds, hands , and
souls
This type of school would help to solv
three of the mission's most provoking
problems. One, ministerial students who
have only three or four years of schooling
could
now finish their secular grade schoo
and high school work.
Two,
small congre
gations would be less burdened with the
support of their preachers since each min
ister would know a t rade by which to
help
support himself. Third, the problem o
student support would be reduced because
the students would be able partial ly to sup
port themselves while in school.
It was decided to go to the village o
Puent es wit h t he mat te r. Duri ng
the
nex
month the necessary approval from village
federal,
and
state officials was gained
and
all the legal details were taken care of
Instead of the originally intended fiv
8/10/2019 Northrup Rodney Maysel 1965 Mexico
7/10
acres, a t ract of forty-five acres has been
leased in the area of the natural cedar park
for the purpose of the schools.
The
whole
t ract
h as b ee n
divided in to
smal le r a r ea s :
one
for Cedars Christian School buildings
and activities; another for the federal grade
school buildings; and a third for the pro
posed government-subsidized shops
and
t r ade schools.
A fence was built around
the
land.
Cement blockmaking became the first trade
taught,
and
the school is being buil t with
student-made
cement blocks. Gravel for
the blocks must be hauled to the site by
oxcarts,
even as rocks have been
hauled
for the foundations of the l ibrary; the
fourth, fifth, and sixth grade,building; the
teachers* cottage; dormitory;
and
dining
hall.
Help from others
Antonio Guajardo,
a
teacher
with
nine
teen years of experience, became
t he pio
neer t eache r in the federal part of th e
project. His wages are paid by the federal
school system. With
true
Mexican patri
otism he had a slender flagpole peeled and
propped up temporarily with cement
bloc^ for Ae twentieth of November to
commemorate the beginning
of
the war for
equal rights
in Mexico. Two
days
later
the
flag was flown at half-staff in mourning for
President Kennedy.
Tidings of
the
new consolidated school
were carried quickly from village to vil
lage. Eighteen villages
have
indicated a de
sire to come in and help build the school if
their
children
will
be
allowed
to
attend th e
fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. The help of
all the surrounding villages is to amount to
about
one-third
of
th e
total cost
of
th e
f ereral s choo l,
which
is named Lic.
Adolfo Lopez Mateos
for
the
man
who
is now president of Mexico.
Within a short time the Mexican govern
ment
became very much interested in
the
project. It has provided desks, books,
blackboards,
cement, roofs
fo r
th e build
ings, and
the
federal
teacher.
As
the school
grows the government will supply other
teachers as needed. When buildings for the
trades shops are built, another govern
menta l depar tment has promised machin
ery with which to teach carpentry, welding,
mechanics,
and
sewing. When chicken
houses are built the agricultural depart
ment will
give
baby chicks to th e
school.
The same department will also supply all
th e fruit
trees that will
be needed. The
government aid will amount to about a
third of the
total cost
of
the
federal school,
and the government will continue to pay
th e
federal teachers .
Just now the federal teacher is teaching
the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. The ce
ment block factory is being run by the
students and they are constructing the
school buildings.
The government has given a small li
Poflo
Four (84)
brary. At this point help from the United
States will be welcomed. Books,
or
money
to purchase books, may be sent to Rodney
G. Northrup
for
Cedars Christian School,
Apartado Postal 306, Saltillo, Coahuila,
Mexico. Books in Spanish are most useful,
but a course in English will be given, so
books in English will be helpful too. Bible
story
books
and
volumes useful
to
Bible
college students will be especially needed.
For
those desiring to help enlarge the
schoo l shops a special way is availab le
through CARE,
660 First Avenue, New
York, N. Y. Donations should be desig
nated through our Mexican corporation
Bethel,
for the school
Lie.
Adolfo
Lopez Mateos, Charco de Puentes, Aram-
berrie,
N. L., Mexico. Each .CARE
of
fering for the school should be designated.
For
example, a gift of 75 will buy a
sewing machine. A carpentry kit or a
masonry kit is 20, a knitting machine
25, a midwifery kit 25, an agricultural
kit 11, a village l ib rary 5, a medical aid
ki t 35, and needle craft
ki t
7. A
ca r
pentry shop
fo r
twenty-five boys costs
2,400, and a small carpentry shop is
650.
The
more of this kind of equipment
is received the better prepared will be the
ministerial students to earn the ir way as
mey
preach
the Word
of
God
to
their
fellow men here in Mexico. When gifts
come through CARE
the
school does
no t
have
to pay duty on the machinery and
the amount of the gift is tax deductible.
The total projectCedars Chris tian
School; the feder^ school, Lie. Adolfo
Lopez Mateos*';
and
the trade school^will
cost approximately 22,000.
The
mission's
part will be about 12,000, since there is
no
federal help for
the
construction of
Bible college buildings.
The next step
The
miss ion 's commitments on th e fe d
era l school, Lie . Adolfo Lopez Mateos,
are about finished since the
f^eral
teacher
is now holding classes in
the
federal build
ings. We want to begin
ou r
Bible classes
as soon as possible. Mexican law requires
usto
hold
^em in a church
building.
The
proposed combination church
and
class
room building will cos t five thousand dol
lars to
build.
Three thousand
dollars
will
finish the dormitory for forty-eight stu
dents.
Most
of
th e
resident
students
will
be
enro ll ed in Bible college. Two cottages
should
be bui lt fo r Bible college teachers.
PropoMd
c hu rch a nd
BIbIa
col la sa bulldlns of
Cadar t Chriat ian School
Each unit will cost approximately 1,300
What will be accomplished in the tw
adjoining schools?
1. Young people will be given an oppo
tunity to finish grade school and hig
school, prepare for the Lord' s work, an
learn
trades that
will
m ake them usefu
to t he ir own commun it ie s.
2. Girls will have an opportunity to
finish school so that when they do marr
they will know how to establish Christia
homes.
3. Cedars .Chr is t ian School will
be abl
to receive and
prepare
for Christian servic
Chr ist ian students coming f rom all ove
Mexico. The se i n
turn can
be sen t to
th
twenty
or
more villages which want Bibl
teachers. During the summer the missio
can
use all of the buildings and grounds fo
Bible camps.
4. This is a test case. If an effective jo
is done, other schools
of
this type can b
set up elsewhere in Mexico, .^ready tw
other areas have approached the missio
asking for similar schools to be set u
fo r them.
5.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
Christia
people in the United States to show th
youth of Mexico that they ca re for them
This is
important
at a t ime when Mexican
t end to think tha t Catholicism is the only
force fighting communism. Each buildin
of the federal school will car ry a plaqu
stating
that
it
was
built throu^
the join
efforts of the Mexican government, th
surrounding villages,
and
Bethel ^th
mission 's Mexican corpora te name. Th
names of churches or individuals givin
for the construction of any particula
buildingwill appear on the Bethel plaqu
in that building.
The
first
of
December, Daniel Cavazo
and
I were in Mexico City taking
care
o
business for the school. In practicall
every
department of the feder^ govern
ment th e officials said, We wa nt to co n
gratulate you men
for
going into thi
isolated, forgotten area and establishin
this consolidated school. We will help a
much
as we
can.
n
the
first
si x
month
there were sixty students in

A BEOKEN NECK was suffered
by
Maysel the
morning of
Juno
24,
1965 when
enroute
to
Old Mexico,
the car
hit a slick spot and rcAled over near
Vaughn New
Mexico. In
stead
of spending
the
rest of
the
sunmer
in camp
V. B. S. and village evangeliam
in
Mexico as planned she spent
six
weeks convalesci^ in and out of the hospital at
Mountainair, New
Mexico.
When finally released to return to Mexico
wearing
a neck collar) the doctors
recommendation was that she not t ravel on rough
roads
for awhile. Since rotigh
roads
and accordion playing
are principal
parts
of
village
evangelism, Maysel had
to
drop
tha t
work
for
a time but
she
found a l l kinds of work waiting
for
her a t Mountain
View Ranch.
She supervised
the
late summer clean-up and kalsomining before the start of
classes
a t
Salt i l lo Christian
School. Sane sparrows had taken up
residence
in the
chapel. They had a
ring
side
opera seat for
a l l
services during the summer
camp.
Campers report that the l i t t le sparrows especially l iked the Spanish choruses.
A
country
mouse family had made their home in the piano while
the
Northrups
were away. Most notorious of all wore
the tribe
of bedbugs which had made their
camp in
the boys dormitory.
I t
took about 60 pesos
of
Raid, H24 and Black
Vlag
to
exterminate
them and
make,
sure
there
were
no
more
outposts.
ALL
RSCORDS
WERE BROKEN
at
Cedars Christian School
Project in
this summers
V. B. S. held by the Larry Cuylers, Fco. Barren and teen missionaries Mark and
Anita
Northrup.
A t ractor
an ut i l i ty
t rai ler was
used to transport
80
children
over
the
bush country dirt roads which were at times very muddy and always full of
stickers. By
the
last day, attendance had climbed to 196. Mark 16, spent lots
of
time driving the
tractor,
pulling out stickers, patching and pun?>ing up tires
lAiich included
the
t ractor t i res The tractor and t ra i le r
is part
of the
equip
ment supplied to the schools by
Ira
Jones and the churches around Etamett, Idaho.
BROKEN
SPRINGS.
Returning from Cedars
Christian
SchocO.
Project
to
Saltillo,
July 27th,
Mark
and Anita
were
in
their
second accident of the summer.
The
Cuyler
truck
suddenly went out
of control
going down d
steep
curve and as
i t
headed
for
the left side of
the
highway Bro.
Lany
Cuyler could not turn
i t
back. Twice they
almost
turned
over when
they
hit
the enfcankment
and in the process
Just
missed
hitting a
small VW
Finally the
truck
stopped
The brakes had
failed also.)
Both doors were sprung. The Broken Springs had caused the steering column to
freeze.
When
they looked
to
the righ t of
the
road
they
realized the Lord had
literally
spared
their
lives.
If
the Cxiyler pickup had
gone
r ight instead of
left ,
they
would
have plunged over the bank
and down
into the
canyon
below.
This BREAKDOWN

work
during the repairs unti l
Rodney and Maysel
arrived from
the
United States August 8 with the 1965 Dodge Van which had been
repaired l ike
new
after the June
24
turnover.
