Graduation and more!

The graduates of the Church Planting Institute

There really have been a lot of great things going on here the last month or so. We have many things that we could and should post about! We’ll try and start posting more often so that we can share more neat stories of what all God is doing here.

One great thing is that we recently had another Church Planting Institute graduation. This class had 13 people who received a diploma, and 6 people who received a certificate of participation (these 6 weren’t able to attend 80% of the classes, which is needed for a diploma).

At the graduation many different students took part by reading scripture, sharing a testimony, praying, or reflecting on the word of God. It was a great time to see all that God has done in this group, and all that He will do through them in the future! Training folks like this has been an awesome blessing for us.

We will be starting another 6 month Church Planting class this Thursday in a part of town called Las Americas.

Also, we are working with a volunteer team from the USA this week. The church planters in charge of this area are Efrain and Fulvia Del Cid, and Carlos AKA “Tito” (Titus in Spanish). There is a picture of them three from the post on September 1st.

These three started a Bible Study in the home of Fulvia’s parents about a month ago. Last Friday night they had 25 people that attended the Bible study, and 4-5 people accepted Christ! What an exciting time. They realize that the growth of their group will quickly cause them to outgrow the home they are currently meeting in! What a great problem to have!

Pray for them as they follow up on many new contacts that they’re making this week while the volunteer group is here. We know that God has an awesome plan to do great things through people such as Efrain, Fulvia and Carlos.

We’ll post some pictures of the weeks events, and other things that have been going on soon, stay tuned!
