With gratitude for your support, we present this initial report from the field on progress at your church plant, Igreja Batista Independente Betel, in the Morada do Sol neighborhood of Patos, Paraiba, Brazil. As you can see, there is a great need and, for many, a longing for a church to be built in this community.
Construction Progress
- The land was cleaned
- All the ground was marked
- Foundation holes were dug, and columns were poured
- At this point, rebar irons were placed in five columns
Church Activities
Currently, 20 adults and two children attend the church regularly.
The pastor leads the construction process, makes material purchases, conducts construction follow-up, and finds solutions for day-to-day challenges. He is also leading the prayer campaign for the construction project and intercession for the community.
Challenges Encountered
The bureaucratic process for project documentation, such as lighting and water connections, has been a great challenge, but God has given us grace, and we are moving ahead in the process.
Next Steps
In the next 60 days, we will be working to build the columns and walls.
