This report includes updates on construction and church activities, prayer requests and a testimony from church staff about two new believers.
Construction Progress
Construction of the six classrooms is now complete. In the sanctuary, the doors and windows have been placed. The walls are being painted.
Challenges and Opportunities
Members of the congregation have come together to work as a team on a project that is close to God’s heart. They have learned that God is a good father who will supply their ministry with what they need. Though there were financial challenges due to the pandemic, the church thanks God because these difficulties made it possible to see God at work.
Next Steps
In the next 60 days, construction workers plan to:
- Place the kitchen doors.
- Add furniture to the kitchen and dining room.
- Finish painting the walls.
- Clean the building in preparation for the church opening.
Church Activities
Currently, 167 adults and 80 children regularly attend this church. The church praises God that over the past 60 days, nine people have professed faith in Jesus.
The congregation has been focused on finishing touches before the facilities open. They are donating flowerpots and plants that will help to create a welcoming environment. Church staff are planning a gradual return to in-person meetings and church services.

A Testimony From Church Staff About Two New Believers
“One of the most impactful events for the church was the baptism of nine people, including construction workers named Uriel and Bulmaro, who both have children registered with Compassion. Uriel is a young man who considered himself an atheist living far from God. His mother recently passed away. Because of the pandemic, he lost his job making jewelry, so he went to the church to ask for work. While working in construction, he listened to the gospel, was discipled and came to believe. Uriel, Bulmaro and Bulmaro’s wife, Frida accepted Jesus as their Savior and were baptized.”
