In the Beginning...

February the 8th was the day we moved into our new home. For almost a month, we have been doing lots of things: visiting family and friends, searching for apartments and jobs, and getting hundreds of legal procedures done. But in all things we constantly saw the mighty hand of God leading, moving, and blessing our lives.

Furniture, clothes, books and other things started filling what became our new home. But nothing could truly make it complete; we kept feeling something was missing. The day we had our first bible study (February the 17th) we recognized the purpose of this place: “My house shall be called a house of prayer”. Prayer, the worship of God and the proclamation of the Gospel are the only things that can make our home meaningful. May our house be a place where people who are lost and needful of salvation become followers of Jesus Christ.

Alicia (Eunice’s sister), her husband Antonio and their son Mateo have decided to be a part of this calling to proclaim the Good News in “El Rincón”. This has been a tremendous blessing from the Lord! We are excited to see what He will do in this city. We meet every Sunday to worship and study the Word together and invite family, neighbors and friends to come and join us.

We also want to thank God for His provision. The home fellowships from our church sent us boxes with our books which got here safely, thank you! CC Costa Mesa, through Pastor Brian Nixon, donated many books and study tools in English that will be a blessing for the ministry. Eunice’s parents have given us their car which was a big need and many books and study tools in Spanish. Eunice got a job as a nurse, praise God! The body of Christ is being so generous in their financial support. Thank you everyone for loving us and supporting the ministry so faithfully.

May God be glorified... Amen!
