Sunday

Sunday was another exciting day at the Mallasilla Bible Church. We are seeing new people attend every week and beginning to run out of space at the Alfaros’. Plans are being quickly thought out to accommodate our growing numbers and find a new location where we can grow and have different rooms so that the kids can split up- right now the age range for Sunday school is from 2-13, all in the same class. Edgar preached a wonderful sermon on the cross and its power to change our lives, power that we don’t have on our own but that only comes from the work of Christ sacrificing His life and being raised from the dead. You’ve heard me mention the Cuban doctors several times before, and one of the girls, Karen, who recently became a Christian, has been bringing her boyfriend Ivan to church and to any church-related activities that we have. On Sunday, God touched Ivan’s heart and he, too, accepted the free gift of salvation! What rejoicing there was as the news spread after the service. There were many hugs and much excitement to see the Holy Spirit working so mightily in our little congregation. Next week we will be having a baptism service with a BBQ afterward and all three of our new Cuban brothers and sisters will be baptized as a symbol of their new faith in Christ!
