Pictures from the Inauguration

We had the inauguration of our new building in March!  We had lots of visitors and we were excited to fill up every chair we owned.  Praise the Lord for the work He is doing in Picassent!

It's hard to get the big picture from these pictures, but this is half of the people who were there.  This is the large area that we usually use for Sunday morning.

This is the other section of seating.  When you stand at the front of the congregation in the first picture, all these people are on your left.  It's our "overflow" section.  It worked perfectly for our needs!

This is Fernando greeting everyone in the large area.  To the right of him is the "overflow" section.

Junior and Aida lead worship for us every Sunday.  Junior is early twenties, and Aida is 14!  They do an awesome job.

Our first Sunday School group!

Lots of traditional Spanish food for the fellowship afterward

Ministry in Picassent

Our new church plant, started in June of this past year, has grown like crazy!  The Lord has just blessed it!  We had rented out a little cafe that worked for our needs, at that time; but after 8 months, we had to begin to look for another location.  In Feb. of this year,  after much prayer, the Lord opened doors for a larger building in a great location.  It was an old gym that had been empty for about 3 years, so we had a lot of renovation to do in order to get it to where it would be usable for our needs.  And so, the process began...

Everyone pitched in, helping tear down, haul out trash, lay new floors, clean walls and floors, and paint everything in sight... :)

Every day, some of the ladies would bring lunch for everyone who was working...

And after a month of hard work, we were down to the final touches...

This shower got walled off...

We knocked a whole in the wall on the other side to make a door

Looking at the walled off section of the old shower from the viewpoint of the new door!

Our new kitchen with the new door!... needed so that we can store food that we give out to the poor.

The wallpapered brick had to come off...

and we painted a chalkboard for announcements

So many people have given their time and hard work to put all these details together.  Businesses have donated paint and chairs for the sanctuary.  Individuals have given money for a computer, a counter top and sink for the kitchen, etc.  The Lord has been faithfully providing each and every thing that we need!  Please continue to join us in prayer for the provision of the details that still need to be finished.
