It is truly amazing to see how the Lord has blessed over the last eight years since we started our first church here in Bolivia. This past Sunday we celebrated those eight years in a very special way with our church. We wanted to celebrate not only the eight years but also the fact that we now have land for our church where we can build. We started two Saturdays before cleaning our lot, removing all the weeds and trash etc. then the Saturday before we built a tent where we could have services with shelter from the sun and rain. We had a great group of men that came out and worked all morning and the ladies of the church fixed lunch for everyone afterwards. On Sunday we started our service at 10:00 am and had special singing and testimonies from many of the people telling how they came to the church and what the Lord has done in their lives since they arrived. At the end of the service we had a special offering to go towards our land and building where everyone came forward and put their money in a special glass house that we had made representing the church. I praise the Lord for the generosity of our people as they gave right at $55o which is close to three months wage here. Also when we arrived on Saturday we were surprised to find a stack of 1,000 bricks that one of the families of the church had delivered for the construction. After the service we came back to our current building and had a cookout with everyone. In all we had a great day and there were many visitors some of which attended our church before when we were in our first location. It is great to see how excited the people are to have our own land for the church and how they are already giving. We would ask you to pray for us as we are about half way to paying off the land that we have purchased and would like to get it paid of as soon as possible. We have right at $45,000 left to go and then the construction on top of that. If you would like to help us reach this goal please let us know by writing me at kwhite@goreachtheworld.org and sending any offerings to;
