Tres Rios Church Update

We’ve been asking you for your prayers concerning where the church has been meeting since April 2007. To review, the city closed the establishment (an old restaurant) because the neighbors complained about a lot of loud parties there (not our parties!). Two developments have taken place just recently. One is that a meeting is to take place between the church, the mayor, and the owner of the property, who is favorable to the church. The hope is that the place will be reopened for church use, and we’ll be able to move out of the circus tent and off the (rainy!) basketball court and back into the building. The other possibility that is still pending is the purchase of a former church building for sale in the downtown Tres Rios district. It is a bargain at $136,000, and would be the best long-term solution. But of course, the folks in the church would need to come up with some initial funding and financing. You can all pray about that, without a doubt, and for wisdom in these times. And please know that we so depend on your intercession and interest in this project. If we deceive ourselves into trusting in our own understanding and then pretend that God has led us, we are deceived indeed! Thanks for your prayers!
