Greetings, Emmanuel Baptist Church! Thank you for your gift to plant a church in Santa Elena, Ecuador. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on children, their families and this community for years to come. In the photo above, the pastor of the mother church attends the First Stone Ceremony. When he cuts the rope holding the first stone, it will fall onto a balloon in the ground, marking the start of construction on the new church.
This report includes an update on recent church activities and prayer requests.
