Greetings from McAllen, Texas! Much as been happening since our last report, God is Good!
To kick off the year we held our annual father and son camping trip on January 3, 2019. This was a great opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of our sons. They put up tents and got the BBQ pits started on that Friday afternoon. Fathers went fishing with their sons and had a great time. “It was awesome, boys were playing, fishing, and not one of them had their phone in their hands.” said Pastor Roman. One of the greatest highlights was the experience of learning how to prepare a goat and a pig for food. Another highlight was waii beach how several of the men shared their testimonies with each other. We host these retreats as a time to set aside, where both fathers and sons can come together and establish a stronger relationship with each other and with Jesus Christ.
We are also very excited to report that we are expecting our new building to arrive any day now. The foundation of our land has been laid out.
On January 19 Pastor Gutierrez took the church to the land to give us a visual tour of what our future home is going to look like. Just being there on the site, everyone could feel the excitement as we walked around the area that would soon become our concert hall.
Before pastor gave the tour, everyone gathered together to pray prays over new building site over the land. Soon after, pastor showed us the area where the sanctuary will stand and even pointed out where he buried a Bible under the cement. “This is a symbol that we stand by God’s standards…” said Pastor Gutierrez as he stood where the Bible was. This was a great and exciting time.
Recently, we had an amazing revival with Pastor Stacey Dillard from Chula Vista, California on February 17 through 20th. There was an awesome presence of God as Pastor Dillard preached about the attitudes of the heart. Pastor Dillard and his wife Daphne were a major blessing to have.
We are excited to see what God has in store for us in the future. Continue to pray for us as we continue our building project.
