LaPaz - day 1 El Faro



Roberto, Lizeth, and Martin lead worship.
This morning we went to El Faro for church service.  This is the second church plant started by Martin and Susie Gonzales.  This is the church we hosted a 3-night VBS - summer 2012.  Since that visit they have had a fire and a hurricane.  We were thrilled to see the progress they have made in continuing their building and to hear of the upcoming plans (short-term and long-term).
More concrete has been poured to provide sidewalks and ramps, landscaping has been put in, stairs have been added to begin a second story classroom, classrooms in place have solid roofing overhead, and gates have been added.  The fencing is planned to arrive in a couple of weeks.  The fencing will help prevent people from using El Faro as a "short-cut" or "hang out".
We recognized quite a few people and enjoyed exchanging greetings and smiles.  It was an honor to sing praises in Spanish and to look out over the city and feel God's gentle touch through the breeze.
