Brick and Mortar

Just yesterday we rented our first little location for the ministry here.  We saw an add in the newspaper for a garage that could be used “to store a car or for some other use”. Well . . . we now have a very small garage that is tidy, of good construction and is not in the flood zone. We have access to electricity for about $10.00 (dollars) a month, but no water access or bathroom. The garage doors open like regular doors in four panels so it’s a nicer entrance than what one might imagine for a garage.  The sidewalk right in front of it has an awning which will be nice if it rains so the believers can have their bikes and mopeds under roof during the service! The owner also gave us permission to put a sign out front. We are very excited to take this small step forward in the growth of the ministry.  The offerings that are coming in are sufficient to cover the monthly expense of the rent and electricity. We are praising the Lord for his guidance and provision as well as asking Him to give us grace to be good stewards of what He has given.

Preaching with an Interpreter

A blog that I enjoy reading is http://www.missiomishmash.com.  Although I have never met the author, his engaging writing style and excellent material have often been a benefit to me.  Having been both the translator and the the person being translated I found his latest post on “Preaching with an Interpreter” to be right on.

Read it and receive a blessing.

Our Garden

Our GardenThis year we are participating in a community gardening project.  In addition to the fun of working in a garden and looking forward to a rich harvest, I am using the time to informally meet with different men from our different Bible study groups.  Pray that as we work together we will see the Lord give spiritual fruit as well.
