4 Special dedication services for the New Temple

NEW TEMPLE DEDICATION SERVICES
The foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv. In the eleventh year of the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. Solomon had spent seven years building it.
1Kings 6:37-38.
I can relate somewhat to what Solomon went through, building the Temple. We first saw the land 15 years ago, but the man who was working his corn crop told us that he would never sell his land. During the next 15 years we saw and inquired of many sites on which we thought we would build the Temple but nothing ever transpired. One day talking to a very close friend about the need to build a temple, he said that he knew of a piece of land and took me to it. When he stopped his car it was in front of the land we first saw 15 year ago. Obtaining the land was the easy part.
The enemy came up against us for the next 5 years as we began the construction process. The journey through those valleys was a process of relying totally on God for everything. The greatest lesson was learning of His patience. As He worked to slay the enemy in our path, and as he turned hard hearts that were against us to loving hearts for Jesus.
I know how Solomon felt when the Temple was finally finished and dedicated it to our God on High.

Setting up for the 4 special dedication services

If you can help

Most of you know that we will be dedicating our new Church with special services on March 10,11,12 and 13.
We have a big problem with echo in the Church, we do have a professional sound tech man who works with a mega Church here in Guatemala. He is doing many things to improve the sound however he says we need a better and larger key board and a wireless microphone. If any body out there knows of any of these not being used we have two individuals coming to Guate for these dates and could bring them down.
Thank you for your love and prayers

A RECENT GRADUATION

This past Saturday Feb 12 2011, I attended a very special graduation ceremony.

My dear wife Elizabeth has been working very hard at a seminary studying for her master’s degree in theology. The photos attached are of her receiving her bachelor’s degree in theology. Next week she will begin the next two semesters that will lead her to obtain her masters in theology. Elizabeth has a vision to go all the way for her doctoral degree in theology.

We all very proud of Elizabeth, being a Mom, wife ,a director of a ministry and helping to pastor two Churches in Guatemala, while putting in hundreds of hours of study and presenting papers to her professors every week.
Elizabeth’s spiritual eyes have been opened much wider and her spiritual ears have heard much more of the truth of the life of our Lord and Savior. She is now telling all whom she meets to go and study more.

May this testimony be a blessing to all that have heard and need to hear more!
May you continue to experience the full blessing of God's grace and love and if for some reason we are not able to communicate before Jesus returns then, we will see you in heaven.
Blessings
