Later the Congregational Board of Mission inBoston, United States, planted additional congregations. In 1872 Reverend David Watkins with his wife founded churches inGuadalajara. Reverend Juan L. Stevens worked inAhualulco but was assassinated by some fanatics. Later the work expanded in other parts in Mexico. In 2004 there were 800 members and 12 congregations.[1]
