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.

A Full House

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.

Building Project Continues

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.

With Carla in Quito

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.
