A Place for the Family

Joy and I just started discipleship classes with Javier and Cecilia. They made a number of comments about how they are growing in Christ and how much they enjoy the church. They are attending Bible studies, Sunday services, small group meetings and even help in an outreach ministry. They both give testimony of a living faith in Christ, and how much their lives have changed for the better since they began to follow Jesus. Among other things, they talk about the church's ministry to their daughter Christina. She sings the songs learned in Sunday School and even repeats the Bible verses she is learning there. Mom and Dad have bought her a Children's Bible, and she insists that one of them read her a story from it each evening before bed. These are the building blocks of the church God is constructing in Manta.
