Team leader, Joy, did an amazing job presenting the dedication of the church. She asked each man on the team to play a part in this service. It was a humbling experience. Joy started by having Mike share the history of our relationship with this community. Franz got up to share the future of this church and where God is taking them. Franz took the time to interview Juan and Aleydia what they wanted to see with this church and where it was heading. Juan shared how he wanted the community to come to know Christ and how this was Ms. Aleydia's dream to have a church to go worship. John got up and read scripture of encouragement for the church family. Maurice got up to encourage the future leaders of the church and how they all can play a huge part in making this church family one in the Lord. Grey got up and represented the bible to the church and ask Juan to come forward to receive the bible.
Then Joy ask if any church members wanted to share any thoughts. Glenda of course got up and shared how blessed they were to receive this gift from God. She thanked God first and then the North Americans for coming and playing a huge part in this happening. Wiulmer got up with excitement as well thanking God for allowing him to help build this church he and his family will worship in together. Pastor Carlos got up and told them to always look to the Lord for where the church is going and all needs come from the Lord. They were blessed to be able to have this church and they need to use it to glorify God. After everyone shared we gathered in a huge circle held hands and Bobby, team member prayed over this church building and its people.
Afterwards we gathered outside for everyone there to receive a salvation bracelet which the North American team had worn all week. Maida shared with the people what each bead represents and everyone could have this gift from God if they only receive HIS Son into their hearts and lives.
