AUGUST PRAYER LETTER

IGLESIA BAUTISTA IN CALDAS

We are reaching and passing 60 on Sunday mornings! Praise the Lord!
We thank God for allowing us to see Him save more people and see their lives change here in Colombia. This past month we had several outreach events that have helped us grow in number and also grow as a family in Christ. On Saturday, July 16, we had a Baking event for the ladies taught by missionary wife Bridgette Young. The Saturday after that we had a BBQ for the whole church family. We prepared games for kids and fun activities for every age. God has used these activities to help us grow in number and spiritually. We have grown in number to the point that we are now starting a kid’s church in the basement so that we can have more seats available for adults in the auditorium. Our youth night on Friday evenings is also growing. This past month the following subjects were discussed biblically: the Power of the Tongue, Procrastination, and Loving others. Please help us pray for the church in Caldas. We are outgrowing the building we are renting, and we are looking for a piece of land to buy so that we can build. This would allow us to have a bigger auditorium and more room to continue to grow.

IGLESIA BAUTISTA EL REFUGIO IN BELLO

The work on the building continues. As you can see from the pictures, we are advancing as fast as we can. The roof is almost done, and the walls are getting fixed! There was a lot of work that we have been doing in order to have a safe place to start services. We have already been talking to the community in Medellin about the free English classes that will be taught as an outreach event.
Many people are showing interest. Missionary Blake Young is helping us with this event as he has a lot of experience in this area. He, alongside his wife, Bridgette, as well as missionary Chestley Howell, will be helping us teach English lessons right before our first service at this church. We can’t wait to see what God is going to do here!
