Two Young Ladies Were Baptized Today

It is always a great Sunday when we have baptisms! I especially enjoy our baptisms at the beach because it provides a truly public testimony of faith in Jesus. Before we know it, we will be using the baptistery in the new auditorium, but I hope we will still go to the beach to baptize once in a while. Liseth became a believer just a few months ago. She told me that she accepted Jesus during the invitation time of the very first service she attended. She and her family have been coming to church faithfully. Pray that the whole family will soon follow Liseth's example. Stephanie accepted Christ as her Savior over a year ago through our youth ministry. She has been coming faithfully to church and youth Bible study since she attended the youth retreat we held in March. We are so very thankful for these young disciples. Please pray for them to continue to grow in grace.

Congregation in Future Auditorium

At the end of this morning's church service we asked the congregation to gather on the platform of the auditorium that is under construction. The floor was just poured yesterday. We are very thankful for what God has provided.

More Construction Photos


Here are a couple of photos showing how the auditorium is taking shape.

Evangelism Class





Training people to do personal evangelism and discipleship is a big part of our overall discipleship and leadership training strategy. Lately we have been teaching a simple method for personal evangelism to a group of interested church members. They are memorizing scriptures, practicing a presentation of the Gospel, and are praying for God to present them with opportunities to share their faith with others.

Construction Progress on the Auditorium Building





We are really excited about the progress made during the past month on our auditorium construction! The perimeter foundation and columns are almost completed. Tons of fill have been brought in to prepare to pour the floors. Here you see me standing where the baptistery will be at the back of the platform and then at the main auditorium entrance. I can't wait until the building is ready to fill with people. There is still a lot to do, a long way to go. We will see how the Lord supplies what we need in financial and material resources. Please pray for this project, and ask God how you can be involved.
