REMEDIOS CONSTRUCTION UPDATE - TOP OF THE BUILDING

It's not just Paul's words in  Romans 8:31  "If God is for us, who can be against us." that resonate with me when I see the struggles of the churches in Remedios and Buenavista, but that God unites us through Jesus to work at fulfilling his plan.  Actually, it humbles me to know that God has enough faith in us to depend on us.  How can we not feel compelled?

Here's a short note from Alexis as they endeavor to complete construction of the extension.

Greetings.

Building construction in Cuba is an odyssey. Between the lack of material resources, the dwindling coffers of the treasury, and red tape, it becomes very difficult to even decide to build. And if you decide the going is hard, difficult, and slow. 

So many people are astounded to see the progress of our construction. I have colleagues who have spent several years constructing a building. 

Well, all this is possible by God's mercy, the generosity of many brothers and sisters in the faith, and many more who have committed to pray.

. 

Our work continues .... be of good courage, we are not finished yet. 

We need your help. 

Thank you very much,

Pastor Alexis
