OUR Newest church
Our newest church is located in the backlands of the state of Bahia. It is about 25 miles from the little city of Cacule where we were this weekend in their little convention. We had phase 1 dedication service Monday night. In is in a little village full of devil worshippers...Please keep these precious people in your prayers.

Re: OUR Newest church
They have no benches and only had 2 chairs...one chair for Brother Alvear and one for me! No doors or windows...borrowed lights from the neighbor, no bathroom or even outhouse...however it did not bother them to stand for hours and worship...

Re: OUR Newest church
When I think of American churches to spend upwards of a million dollars in this area to build a building with marble facing that can only sit a few hundred, I want to cry. In fact I have some tears welling up now.
Many of our people and pastors really have become building centric idol worshipers. Looking at this church and how its folks are proud of what they have makes me ashamed to be a American Christian. Thanks for keeping it real in the mission field Sister A.

Sometimes I wonder just how God really sees things and how He judges...I deeply love the mission field and I know it is my calling but when I see these sweet people give and build and work I too wonder about some of the things I see in America....especially the needless things...when people in other lands perish without the saving knowledg of Jesus Christ. Please pray for us as we press into the dark spiritual night here bringing light.

Re: OUR Newest church
I love these pictures. I think Americans have to find balance. We have a beautiful new building, and I'm sure we spent money we could have saved. But in America, it takes a different kind of building to reach the masses. So I struggle all the time between being thankful and feeling guilty over it. LOL!! When I see pictures like this, I wish I had a million dollars to buy chairs and shoes and so on.......
