Our second month in Chontabamba

Our second month being in Chontabamba from April 15th through May 15th has been a steady focus on starting the church. We came up with the church name (Mount Calvary Baptist Church), printed tracts, purchased a church banner, and continued to build relationships with others by opening our home. 

Nisha gets comfortable shopping in the open market each Saturday for fresh fruit and vegetables. 

Neighbor kids daily ring our door bell to visit.

On good Friday during the Easter week (Semana Santa) we offered a video night to invite our neighbors and to share the gospel. We had over 30 people attend. 

We began meeting on the Easter Sunday (Resurrection Day) in the morning. Our family set up the church in the garage and had over 20 attend. 

 

That Sunday night we showed the Jesus film and had over 30 people attend. 

We began a kids club to meet every Thursday and has been received in the area very well.

 We are excited to see the interest of those coming to church each Sunday and Thursday.

What a joy to see our girls making new friends and getting involved in the ministry.

 We have been able to purchase church tracts to give out the Gospel and to promote the church in the area.

 A church banner that lights up each evening was installed and is now visible for all to see.

 What a blessing to see the transformation and growth of the church.

We praise God for His working in the growth of the church. We're thankful to all of our supporters who are praying and making it possible to establish this church. This last Thursday kids club was our highest attendance of 31 kids and 9 adults.
