Our Big Fundraiser

On September 11th, one of our national holidays, we had a fundraiser to raise money to buy blocks for our new church building. The initial planning for this day began with the church's Fundraising Committee, headed by Ulpiano Leal. As the time drew nearer, more and more people became involved and we even had sub committees branching out of the Fund Raising Committee. Just to watch everyone coming together, planning and then executing their plans was a blessing. When God's people join together to do his will it will be a success. It was such a fun day; there were many churches there enjoying the sporting competition, the delicious variety of food and pastries and the worship happenning under the big tent. Even the kids were lining up to get their face painted and the ladies to get their nails painted. At the end of the day (about 9:00 p.m.) we were all tired but blessed. The day was a success and we thank God for giving us a beautiful day that we could celebrate with fellow Christians.

The Work Team's Arrival

On the 18th we had a work team come in to help us lay blocks for our new church. This team was headed by Rev. Mark Lambert and Rev. Charlie Joe Green. They brought two ladies along to assist, Charity and Tracy. This team worked, and worked and worked for that week they were here and even though I know they enjoyed their trip to Belize I know they must have been glad to go back home and rest. We thank God for them and their families and the sacrifice they made to give of their time, energy and finances to help us with our new church building. Thank you guys!
