This week was quite a bit more eventful and the pace of everything is definitely picking up. We’re doing our best to be obedient and intentional about taking a day of rest to help us through the week. It’s today. J We’ll give you updates in the wonderfully familiar form of an enumerated list.
1. After our day at Sosua we had an opportunity to spend the night at Dr. Melido Zorrilla’s (Senior Pastor of Centro Cristiano) house on Tuesday night. The church just finished their bylaws and constitution and we went to drop off some pictures and artwork that we did on our computer so that the official church seal can be made. After we made a few phone calls and used the internet it was late so we stayed the night. The change was refreshing.
2. On Wednesday afternoon we cleaned up a small garden in the front of Centro Cristiano, pulled weeds, and cleaned up garbage. The first step of a very extensive cleaning project.
3. God has provided for the churches in some very amazing ways. (a) A woman from New York donated a new keyboard to the churches. (b) The lawyer who handled all of the property title, deed, etc., for the new property decided not to charge for her services. (c) 7 or 8 people have committed to buying 100 cinderblocks for the construction process. (d) The campaign for buying meters for Centro Cristiano is pushing forward strong.
4. The “Primer Picaso” or groundbreaking service was a great time. The church, surrounding community, and other local pastors are all very excited for this new site that is committed to use the blessing of God in order to be a blessing to the community. And now that it will be in the name of the Casa de Dios: Puerta del Cielo and not in the name of another owner, the church will remain open as long as it needs to be open, not only at times that are convenient for the property owner.
5. We also taught our first Sunday School class with the youth. We’re going to be going through the parables and teachings of Jesus in the synoptic gospels (Thanks Baloian). Despite the class location (on top of a mound of ants) and the normal squirrelly nature of our Jr. High aged youth… it was a good time.
Attached are some pictures of the Primer Picaso service.
