The Corner Place
Posted by Rick Romano on May 13, 2012.
After our spring break groups left in April we knew that we needed to find a place for the groups to eat and hang out. It was very hard to eat meals & have meetings outside under the torrential downpours. We felt pretty strong about a building close to our house. We finally made a connection with the realtor and moved in three weeks ago. Since then, our team has been hard at work painting, cleaning, building walls and moving everything into the open space. There are just a few more little details to do for it to be ready for our next group, they arrive on May 21st. God supplied us with a perfect place, we are grateful for His provision and direction.
One of the visions we have had for the heart of Santiago was to open an ENvision Café reaching young people in the city for Christ. Adjoining the dining hall is another space for rent, perfect place to open the café; we ask that you would come alongside us as we are praying for God’s direction and financial resources to make this happen.
Last weekend we went to Loma de Cabrara, minutes from the Haiti border. We met an Alliance Puerto Rican pastor, Joseph Grover and his family, who has been serving there for three and half years. The area is very poor, they have problems with no electricity and no water (I thought we had it bad in Santiago!). We will be returning with a group or two to help build an Alliance Church and share God’s love, huge opportunity for our groups to minister alongside the church in Loma!
We are so very grateful for our faithful prayer supporters. Thank you for lifting us up, I know that because of your prayers we would not be able to do what do. We praise God that we have been able to help put money toward purchasing a bus with the National Church. And we praise God for the building we have!
Please Pray For:
* Churches to partner with us here in Santiago;
* Teams to work alongside the National Church
* Building Alliance Churches
* To help us with the rent cost, it is not covered through group fees
* Partner with us and the ENvision Café
* For our teams that are planning on coming, that they would be able to find cheap airfare
* Safety as we travel
* Continue building a strong relationship with the National Church
* Wisdom walking alongside the National Church
* God will use us and our partner churches to expand God’s Kingdom and be a blessing to the National Church.
