REPORT FROM SAN ROMAN

In August we had only 7 adult members attending the services, right now we have 12 adults attending, we had no young people now we 14 young people attending. We had only 5 children now we have 16.

We have youth services on Saturdays at 5:30p.m. Our Sunday school service is at 9:00a.m during the morning we have the children class, adults class and the leadership class. At 2:00p.m we get together only with the leaders to discuss the most important points of the church.

Last month we start to work by group every group have a leader we have leader for worship, for youths, sales and cleaning of the church also we a leader for decoration, This leaders are all potential leaders that are working along with us. With the sales they are doing is get some funds to get a sound system for the church. Also we are doing evangelism house to house.

PLANS:
Our plans are to start with a female group so that all the ladies from the village can get involved in learning about God and also about how to make their own work at home we are planning to teach CRAFTS, SEWING< COOKING> and also how to keep their water purified because in San Roman the problem is that in this times they don't have rain water and they don't have pipe water either. I want to teach them about hygiene for their families and their selves. We are going to start in April with cooking and crafts because right now we don't have sewing machines.

Another plan is to have youth crusades so that youths can learn more of God and understand that without God they are nothing.

Thank you for support in the material way and in prayers.

May God Bless you
