Up and Running



What exciting news!!! We have buildings here in Cochabamba!! We have been so very blessed in the past few weeks... to find two buildings, within budget that are going to meet our needs as a church body. The first building we found is pictured here. We are going to use this facility as a contact center... meaning that each of the men on the team will have an office space here (in the pictures you can see the walls being built to create separate office spaces) and we will have a large room in the back like a conference room that can be used for meetings, bible classes, and other group activities. The first photo is taken from the front door in, and the second from the upstairs (where two offices will be located).. looking down. The construction is actually complete now and we are going to break it in this Sunday by worshipping there, so I will post more pictures next week of the finished product. The beauty of this building as well is that it is located on a main street in Cochabamba known as "El Prado." This street has many main business office buildings, restaurants, and almost every public transportation route passes through town by way of this street. So.... talk about a presence in the city huh? We are so thankful to God for this open door. And then just last week God opened another door as we found another building, probably about 8-10 blocks from the Contact Center to use for our first worship building!!! It has open spaces upstairs and down, which will allow us to use one floor for a common worship area, and the other floor to create classrooms. It's still a work in progress, but we are so excited. It's just so wonderful, I can't even adequately put it into words, to see the hand of God moving, providing, and creating opportunities for us to follow here in His work. Thank you for all your prayers and support of this new church body in Cochabamba.
