Where 2 or 3 are gathered….

Over the course of the past 2 years we have attended several churches; a small house church started by some local missionary families, then later attending at El Buen Samaritano church first in their Spanish service and then in the English morning service that was added. Unfortunately, the local people didn’t embrace the idea that it would be an opportunity for them to learn or practice their English and after a time it was discontinued also.
So the idea of starting up a small church arose once again. Though our group is small, there is a genuine uplifting and encouraging of the saints through our weekly worship time. The numbers fluctuate as people come and go but we pray to become a growing and vibrant church in the booming area of Cabarete. Last week we were able to use a tiny church on the main street, just a perfect size for a small group but large enough to seat 100 people! It’s a great place for mission teams who want to join together on a Sunday morning with the local missionaries. Pray with us that the church will continue to grow and that the benches will be overflowing!
