Church of Christ in Barranquilla, Colombia
The peace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ is forever in our lives. The
family of God is walking step by step in its growing love, commitment and purpose in
this world. For me continuing in this spiritual fight with the objective of winning people
for the Kingdom of God is a blessing. We are very happy for the results that God is
giving to his Church in Barranquilla.
These are some pictures of the newly painted building and of our Sunday worship.
We began our services here the fifth Sunday of April.
In this month, we were preparing the publicity for our Big Inauguration!
Our wives made beautiful invitation cards while we men passed out flyers and Christian
literature to people.
The address of the place where are is: Street 78 No. 42-111, Garden City, Barranquilla,
and the phone is 356-2078. Near the location there several universities, so the place is
very transited. Some of those who pass began to visit the Church, and thanks to God
they feel very well with our worship to God. For the moment we have not had more
baptisms, but our confidence is in The Lord that He is powerful for taking the heart of
the people.
Now on the sixth of May we had our official inauguration of the services; we invited
many persons, brethren and friends. Our brother Calvin Henry and his wife Linda were
with us; he gave the reflection on the Word of God. We sang to the Lord with our
visitors. It was a wonderful day: we had forty-eight visitors, quite a few of them new
contacts. Also, we had the participation of twenty-five brothers and sisters of the
Church in Barranquilla.
These are some pictures of our inaugural service:
Thanks to God this was a very beautiful experience. However, we know that our work
is for the Lord; we continue praying and preaching the word of God. Dear brothers and
sisters, please continue praying for the Church of Christ in Barranquilla. We give
thanks to your for you commitment and for your spiritual and material help for this
mission.
At the same time, I am giving thanks to God for my wife; our baby is growing very
well. The doctor says that she is in very good health. Please pray for our baby and for
us. Thanks, and God bless you,
In Jesus’ love,
Manuel and Elsa
