It is Monday night in the northern city of Resistencia. Only the leaders of cell groups meet on Mondays. Each leader is also a part of a cell of leaders. They meet for 90 minutes in rooms with their team of leaders. After the 90 minutes, at 9:30 PM they all gather in the church sanctuary. It is "L" shape, so there appear to be two congregations. I am told that their whole congregation numbers about 11,000.

This is not a main service... only cell leaders and their families.
Felicia presented Michelle and translated for her as she told the story of the miracle baby she had held in her arms last Saturday morning. (see Saturday's blog)
Then Michelle played and sang, "I need you more..."
The pictures tell the rest of the story.
I preached from John 12:24 and challenged these workers to plant the seed of their future dreams in the fertile soil of God's perfect plan for their lives.
God was at work and by the sound of fervent prayers, without doubt, He was calling youth and adults into His service.

Hi Pastor Ralph -
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing church. I can see why they promote cell groups so heavily there. There are really working for them! What an incredible group of leaders they have raised up. What an incredible future lies ahead of them that is not dependent on only 1 central leader. Good future indeed. : )
Blessings on you guys. Safe travels, lots of fun memories, and awesome ministry -
