  • "Agape" Sunday

    Agosto2012 128 We celebrated an “agape Sunday” last Agosto2012 116 Agosto2012 120 weekend during the church services in Boca Agosto2012 122 del Rio and inAgosto2012 133 Compuertas.  Regularly, the church takes a Agosto2012 131 Sunday to Agosto2012 144 specifically encourage one another with testimonies of God’s work in the past few weeks, prayer requests, take communion together, and enjoy a potluck meal with fellowship.  BothAgosto2012 145 congregations participated with excitement!

    In Boca del Rio, after some testimonies, a brother asked for prayer for his sick son, and the whole congregation prayed together.  And God responded!!  Within the week, the boy was healed, with a healthy echocardiogram as proof!  And, even though we are not in fishing season, and consequently almost the whole town is without income, each family found away to bring something to share at the potluck lunch, and we enjoyed a special time of fellowship.

    In Compuertas, many praise reports were given, especially now that God has provided funds to make the first payment on the new land!  One brother even shared a song of praise. After the testimonies, the whole congregation stayed to share a small, but special potluck meal- even the tons of evening mosquitoes did not keep them away!
