Wednesday: Well, we had our first service for a new church we are starting. This is our fourth, possibly fifth depending on how things go in Tegucigalpa, since May. The Lord has been opening a lot of opportunities lately and we are trying our best to follow along where He is leadings. One of the pastors of another new church, Ronaldo, preached and we had about 35 people or so attend. It is in a very poor colonia (community) with no electricity so we meet at 5:00 in the afternoon. This is another area where the team passed out food last week and it made an huge impact with the people. The area is basically where the mayor has agreed to give the people some land to build a house on if they will move off the side of the road where they were living as "squatters". Using the word house here is not what we normally think of when we use the word house in the states. Here it means a roof of metal or canvas, four walls of whatever they can find to use and a dirt floor. Please join us in praying for what God is starting in this community.
The mayor has also set aside some land in the community to be used for a church so Saul, Brad, and Miguel will be trying to arrange a meeting with the mayor soon to discuss this more.
