Block Party

So, all week when we walked through Region 235, we'd been inviting people to our block party we were having there on Wednesday night. We were so excited & when it finally came, it went over better than I could've ever imagined.

Around 6:45 (it was starting at 7:00), there were maybe 15 people there & most were with the church. Everyone seemed a little down, but no one said anything about it. By 7:00, more chairs were being set up. We had about 200 people. This is the first time that it seemed real to me that they will have a church there & that we were seeing the beginnings of that. So good.

After the party, Pastor Marcial, Henry, & Mauricio met with the couple whose yard the church is starting in. They talked over it, Henry told them "you know Satan will attack you for this." I loved hearing that to straight forth. God is forming this church & Satan won't be happy with anyone who has anything to do with it. Pastor Marcial was crying by the end...this is something he's had a vision for for so long & it's finally happening.

A church is not a building, but a group of people with the desire to worship. And now there is a church in Region 235...
