New Thing, we are thrilled to open this new chapter with you to plant a church, Iglesia Evangélica de Santidad (Evangelical Church of Holiness), in Lejamaní, Comayagua, Honduras. Below is the first report from the field on progress being made. Thank you for bringing this blessing to a community in need of hope!
Construction Progress
The first stage of construction is being completed. It includes:
- Leveling of land with machinery
- Excavation for and complete manufacture of the cistern
- Total excavation of 590 linear feet for construction
- Assembly of concrete footings
- Welding iron forms for concrete pillars
Church Activities
- Meeting with the mayor of Lejamaní
- Pre-construction prayer time in the field with leaders from the mother church
- Construction supervision by the pastor of the mother church
Challenges Encountered
Up to this point we have not had any problems in the construction. On the contrary, we thank God because He has opened many doors for this to take place. We have had support from the mayor’s office, which provided us a place to store construction materials.
We know that God will continue to open doors. We thank you very much for your help and support. Without it, it would not be possible for this to happen.
Next Steps
In the next 60 days, we will begin building the walls at the level of the upper floor and start the construction of the roof.
Testimony of Impact
