An Update on Your Support of Church Planting in Guatemala

August 4, 2021

Greetings, Columbia Community Church! Thank you for your gift to plant Iglesia del Nazareno in Guatemala. Families and children in this community are grateful for your investment in this community. In the photo above, construction workers are building a roof over the church sanctuary.

This report includes updates on construction and church activities, a testimony from a church leader and praises and prayer requests.

Construction Progress

Great progress is being made on construction. Workers are currently building the kitchen walls and are installing toilets.

Construction workers build the kitchen walls.

Challenges and Opportunities

The rocky land continues to be a challenge for construction workers. Because of the extra effort it takes to remove the rocks, their work takes more time. However, they continue to persevere.

Next Steps

Next, construction workers will complete the roof of the sanctuary, add a ceiling in the bathroom and continue to work on the kitchen.

Church Activities

Currently, 60 adults and 40 children regularly attend church services. Caregivers and community members continue to volunteer their time and effort to help with construction.

A Testimony From a Church Leader

“We thank Columbia Community Church for their support of our church. We pray that God would prosper and bless each member of their church! Through their offerings, they have greatly blessed families in our region.”

Praises and Prayers Requests
