When you think of the steel industry, you most likely think of Pittsburg, PA. Ranked right behind Pittsburg in the American steel industry is Pueblo, Colo. Pueblans are proud of their industrial heritage, so much to the point that they have built a river walk through their industrial district to honor that heritage.
Located in Southern Colorado, Pueblo is the economic hub of the area, with U.S Highway 50 intersecting with I-27 there. My first visit to Pueblo came during the aftermath of the blizzard of December, 2006. US 287 from Lamar to Limon was closed, but by taking US 50 to Pueblo to I-27, my family was able to circumvent the highway closures, travel through Colorado Springs, and get to my inlaws in Calhan. During blizzard forced road closures, traffic is often diverted through Pueblo.
Pueblo is home to more than 103,000 people, and has been home to one ABA church. Colorado State University-Pueblo is there with an enrollment of 6,000 students. It is a blue-collar town, with the median family household income being around $35,000 annually.
This would be a great work for the right missionary with the right heart. There are several neighboring towns of substantial population that could be expanded into. Please pray for Pueblo, Colorado.
