Fruitful Time in Compostela

Over the past weeks we have both had the opportunity to spend time with the Diaz family and their church, Perdon y Amistad, in Compostela (about 45 minutes away). This is the same church that was able to complete building their church building after an incredible fundraising campaign, led by Rob & Mary Honer, several years ago.

One evening, Colleen was invited to share at their women's bible study. It was a great time of understanding more about what God says about prayer. The ladies listened intently and God was faithful to remind us of the power of scripture. Everything sounded even better through Fernando's translation, his first time at the women's bible study too.



A week later, Chuck was invited to preach at their Sunday worship service. Chuck preached in spanish and was received very warmly. He was challenged by a few new words he had learned during his preparation, but really delivered a powerful message. The church leadership has also asked for support and encouragement with their discipleship and leadership training in the weeks to come. What a great opportunity!



A special treat at their services is the exceptional music! This family is so talented. Nothing like rockin' out for Jesus.
