The God of Miracles
We have been diligently looking at options for the land in Quillacollo and praying that the Lord would bring in the remaining money needed to secure the land. Well, we have seen God do miracles in the past few weeks in His provision for this need. Since our last update we have received an offering from an individual for $7,000 and one from our home church for $5,000. We have also received two separate offerings for $500 ($1000 total) and an offering for $350 from another individual. We are honestly overwhelmed by the generosity of God’s people and His working in this project. With those offerings we now have right at $21,000 in hand to be able to negotiate and to be able secure the land. After the land is secured we will have to raise the remaining $40,000 to finish paying it off and to be able to help the church get a basic structure built so that they can start having services. So stay tuned as we will be announcing more details very soon. If you would like to help us with the remainder of the money for this purchase, you can have a part in helping this church reach many people with the gospel, and see the Lord do a great work in their lives. If you would like to help, please let us know and send to;

13th Anniversary:
This past month, we celebrated our first church’s thirteenth anniversary here in Cochabamba. This year we wanted to do something a little different in a way to not only celebrate the anniversary, but also to strengthen the church. We planned a family conference for the Thursday – Saturday before, and focused on not only strengthening the families of the church but also inviting new families to participate. We encouraged those of the church to invite friends and family, we handed out invitation in the community and also did publicity through Facebook to try and reach new people. We invited Pastor Miguel Murillo from Peru to come and visit and preach the conference for us. We had a great turn out each night and even had several visitor’s from the Facebook adds, besides the visitors the people of the church brought. We praise the Lord for the last 13 years and His blessings on the church.
Pastor’s Training:
We also took advantage of having Pastor Miguel here to spend some time with the Pastor’s that we are training in our Bible College. On Monday – Wednesday we went each morning to a retreat center and learned about the essentials of have a healthy productive church. It was a great time of fellowship and learning for the men that have a desire to do something great for the Lord and reach many people for Him.
Prayer Requests:
1. Pray for the church in Quillacollo as they try and raise the money to buy land.
2. Pray for presidential elections that we will be having in a few weeks.
3. Pray for the many areas of our city that need a church.
4. Pray for protection for our family against many dangers around us.
