Would you help us pray about the need?  If we have all the needed funds in two weeks, we could start building immediately!

What if???

What if 10 gave $680?  Then we would have the remaining $6,800 we need for this project!

What if 25 gave $272?  Then we would have the remaining $6,800 we need for this project!

What if 68 gave $100?  Then we would have the remaining $6,800 we need for this project!

Church in a dance studio

From June-August 2010 we held neighborhood Bible studies in a community void of any gospel preaching churches.  In September God led us to launched Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday evening services.  The big question for us was what location to use for this new church plant.

As the guys began to look for a community center that would loan or rent us their space a couple of days a week, they came across a dance studio.  After brief negotiation, they agreed to rent us the small building on Sundays and Wednesday evenings.  From then on, the pulpit has been just a few feet from the wall mounted ballet bar!

Problems with this location:

1. The building is great for about 40 people.  Right now, the group of believers is filling this building weekly.  They need more room to keep growing.

2.  The start of Sunday School is on hold, because we do not have space for classes at the dance studio.

3.  There is no rental contract at the dance studio.  They only let us use the facility month to month.  In other words, at any given moment they could kick us out.  By the way, they were unwilling to sign a contract with a church because they want to maintain the right at any time to discontinue our usage of the building.

4.  Not only do we need a building for our 3 weekly services, but we need a place to host children’s rallies, weekly teens meetings, monthly women’s activities, men’s meetings, and couple’s meetings.  In the dance studio, we can never have extra activities.

5.  We need a place for discipleship.  One of the building blocks of our ministry has been one-on-one discipleship.  These meetings can take place in the home, except when the immediate family is not supportive of the decision one made to follow Christ in a Baptist church – which is the case with most new believes.

6.  Also, they will not let us put a sign out front except during our church services (3 hours a week).  Unfortunately most people in the community do not take the church very seriously because of its temporary, transient atmosphere.

Be praying that God will provide the 11K needed for a building on the new property!!!

Here are some important facts about the property:

1. It’s just a few steps from the corner of two main avenues.
2. From this location we can reach two adjoining communities in Santiago that currently have no churches.
3. It’s located within walking distance from our second church’s current location.  So the church people can reach this new location easily.  I’ll write more about this church and how God is blessing it in an upcoming post.
4. The land is priced well below the market value at $59,000 dollars!  (Remember that land in this metropolis city is very expensive!!)
5. The owner has agreed to give us several months to raise the remaining funds.
6. For just 10,000 we can build an auditorium to hold 80 people with three classrooms and a bathroom!
7. Currently we have $25,360 that has been committed to the project.
8. We only need an additional $44,640 to complete the project!

Here are two picture of the exterior wall of the lot God has lead us to purchase.  We are so excited that soon dozens of families will be meeting on this property to hear the Gospel of Jesus!

This week we started a semester of evangelistic English classes at Life Baptist Church.  We were praying that God would send us at least 80 people for the class… over 160 signed up!!!!  Pray with us that many of these precious people will be saved in the coming months!

I am thankful that Kyle Sheridan will be leading this outreach ministry.  Kyle is a great young missionary who has been in Chile for the past 6 months.  He speaks the language proficiently and has a passion for church planting and souls.  In May he will be returning to the states to get married and raise additional support.  I highly recommend you considering him for support.  For more information about Kyle and his ministry, write him at kylepsheridan@aol.com

There’s a very large donation in the works that I should be able to announce tomorrow!!  I can’t wait to tell you about it!

Keep praying that God will provide 100% of our $75,000 goal!!

Several months ago we started raising $75,000 for land for churches in Chile.  God continues to provide in amazing ways!  Over the new few days I’ll let you know all that God has done!  Here’s a couple of the ways He’s providing:

1. Recently, God led a friend from high school, who I have not seen in 10 or 11 years, to give $50 towards the project!!

2. Just a few days ago a struggling, broke college student gave $40 to help buy land in Chile for a church!!

That’s $90 towards to cause!  Now we’re up to $7,623.58!
