Work has begun on the auditorium for the church in Manta! We have been getting ready for this for several months. We have purchased the steel and cement for the foundation, columns and floor. The church has saved money for most of the labor that will be needed for this part of the project. We could definitely use more financial help to continue the work and finish the building. If you would like to contribute, please let us know and we will get the information to you for making a donation through Baptist Bible Fellowship International.
We really need to get the auditorium finished. We had 155 in church on Sunday. That fills up the temporary auditorium (made up of 3 future classrooms) and the current children's classroom space in the education building.
We are thankful for the growth in our church over the past year. The past several weeks we have consistently seen a full house. The temporary auditorium holds 90 to 110 people each Sunday. The classrooms are full, and even the nursery is full. That's why we need to get the auditorium built soon. Please be praying with us about that.
We spent five days in Quito getting to know our new daughter Carla. She has been at For His Children waiting for God to provide her with a family. In this photo you can see Teddy, Carla and Mateo as we made an afternoon outing to the top of Mt. Pichincha which is situated just to the west of Quito. The children have been adjusting very well to life in the Anzalone family. We appreciate your prayers as all of us get used to each other and learn to live as a family.
