Transforming Communities by the Power of the Gospel

Each of our church plants is ministering to needs in their community. Our church plant in Bom Jesus is no different. Since April we have been providing food for several families in the community. The members of these families consists of thirty five people. Since, April eight of them have come to know Christ, been through several months of new believer classes, baptized and are actively serving in the church. They have become a testimony of grace in the community.

    During this time we have distributed over 2,000 lbs of food at this young church. However, the idea is not to just give them food, but by the grace of God and the power of the Gospel to equip them to provide for themselves. We have seen a great transformation in people's lives. Before, they were completely lacking a foundation; without hope and perspective. Now, they are experiencing God's mercy and grace daily; giving them dignity, restoring hope, and strengthening them physically to work. They have come to understand that they are image bearers of God created with a God ordained purpose. With this understanding they have the faith and confidence to begin building a life for themselves and their families.

    The Lord has been good to us this year. I hope you will take a few moments to read our newsletter to learn other ways the Lord is blessing.
