Resurrection of a church

Guillermo and his wife, Marta, and family are members of the Pacheco church where I preached last night. They have accepted the challenge to resurrect a church that was closed years ago in a needy barrio in Gran Bourg. Gran Bourg is a huge area with many needy neighborhoods located about 20 miles from Pacheco. They collect nice used clothing and on Saturdays they distribute it to the children and serve hot chocolate and a light snack. A local bakery provides sweet rolls. Marta and their three kids dress as clowns, have games for the kids, then a time of singing, Bible teaching and a devotional. Already parents are coming with their kids and some have given their lives to Christ. This story of reaching out with food and clothing for the needy is being repeated over and again in many churches throughout the country. They don’t advertise what they are doing. They are not asking for help. It is a service to the Lord Jesus. I am confident that Guillermo and Marta will see this church “rise again”.
