We want to see some major steps forward taken in the construction of the ministry centre and church meeting place in Jes\u00c3\u00bas Mar\u00c3\u00ada. We want to serve our community, helping people in practical ways as well as giving spiritual food. We hope to reach out to those with physical and mental disabilities, and to city street kids. We hope to see the work in Las Palmas grow, as relationships are built with believers, unbelievers, and ultimately with their Lord. We want to know our God better, worship Him more completely, and serve Him in love.<\/p>\n<p>We can&#8217;t do it on our own &#8211; so join us in prayer, that the Spirit will open doors and hearts, give wisdom and strength, and do what we could never do.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment we would especially appreciate your prayers for the intensive time of ministry right at the beginning. Safe travels for those coming on the 11th and 12th, and then for all the activities over the next week &#8211; a soccer tournament, baking, English, and craft classes, construction, wheelchair distribution, and time spent just being with people.<\/p>\n<p><i>May God give us all an infectious faith!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>. . . your faith in God has gone forth everywhere . . .
