The Lord blessed us with the baptism of Jose, husband of Kim who was baptized just recently. Also Wanda, Ronny, and Christopher, children of Olman Brenes, long time member of this church, were baptized during the same week. Jose is another result of the Bible Study Group at the home of Walter and Sendry Castrillo. The church attendance went up to 122 people the following Sunday. The auditorium is no longer suitable for the size of the congregation. We manage with extra chairs.
The children of the church had their annual celebration on the Saturday of that week. It was a time of great fellowship for the adults too.
During the same week, the amount saved for the New Building Project hit the 3 million colones mark! (the equivalent of 6 thousand dollars) This project is totally local initiative. The Facilities Committee came up with a project for a two story building, and designed a plan to commit the members to give a monthly amount in order to have the startup money for such a project. The goal is to save 20 million colones (around 40 K) which the hope to reach by the end of 2016.
