Pathways G17 Visit...

Once again we were blessed with a team. This group was the youth team from Pathways-Largo at least officially. But several team members came from Bradenton, FL as well.

Their focus was in several areas. They helped with construction or should I say de-construction in part of the warehouse of Bethel Ministries. A group that provides wheelchair assitance throughout GUA. Children's outreaches working in different pueblos of Pastores and also Jocotenango. Depending on the day it was a soccer emphasis with a Bible story or just the reverse. As well, this team spent time in the Malnutricion Center of San Juan.

This group had other highlights from a climb up Volcan Pacaya, surfing down volcanic sand, street time in Antigua, and seeing Alex Hobbs (a team member) get arrested and taken to the police station, as part of being "punked" for his birthday.

Another amazing week of the gospel being shared. Great Job - G17!

Only six weeks...

Once again, God has shown himself! It is a story much longer than I wish to share in this blog, but suffice it to say that when we needed space and a building to hold services in, He did it, He gave us the place and expansion that we need.

This new place is only a half a block from our present location. The pictures shown here are the present condition as it is an Art Gallery. This will net for us and additional 1,000sq ft and a more functional layout than our present facilities. As well, this puts us in a single level. Yea God!

The plan right now is to begin renovations December 1st. Then to hold our first services January 4th. There is much to do between now and then and only 6 weeks from the writing of this blog. As we have more to share on the renovations we'll keep you updated. No, the artwork will not be staying.

IDC Change is a foot...

This year has been a big year of growth for the church. Our lowest attendance points this years were are dream numbers from last year. The evidence of life change on the individual level is too many to share in one blog. God has strengthened our position for growth with a combination of both Latin and English individuals working in specific jobs to fufill His purpose.
