Iglesia Puerto de la Hermosa (Immokalee, Florida, USA)
In the early 1970s, a Spanish-speaking group sponsored by the Lancaster Mennonite Conference began meeting on Sunday afternoons at People's Chapel in Immokalee, Florida. It called itself La Iglesia Puerto de la Hermosa (Church of the Beautiful Gate). Isadoro Saez served as the founding pastor. The congregation later moved to its own small building on North Third Street.
The congregation was no longer listed in the 1992 Mennonite Yearbook."
