We are so excited to announce that construction has begun on a church at El Paraiso. This project is very close to our hearts. El Paraiso is a very remote community that was built after the mudslides and hurricane Mitch in 1998. There are around 90 families that live there, approximately 400 people. It is 1 1/2 hours from Leon, out a very rocky dirt road. The unemployment rate for that area is over 90%. The church we are building is the only one in the area! This is such an answered prayer.
The church will be built in phases, as money allows. It is a collaberative effort of Faith Promise Church, Cades Cove Baptist Fellowship Church and many individual donations. Our plan is to use the structure for many purposes. A feeding center, a training center, and an emergency shelter for the area. God's timing is perfect!
Please pray for the team from Cades Cove Baptist Fellowship as they come to serve and to build next week. Pray that the men and women in the community are encouraged and see God's hand at work. Pray that we serve with heart's of compassion. Pray that His desires are evident and that we a sensitive to His urging.
Muchas gracias! Dios le bendiga!
