A marriage a long time in the making

Daniel was a very young boy when he first came in contact with HFTCM. It has been a struggle to say the least or this young man. He has come and gone from the ministry and Church many times. Always coming back when thing got to tough for him. God never gave up on him nor did HFTCM. Daniel met Marta a couple of years ago and began living together. Producing two wonderful children.Daniel and Marta began coming to Church on a very regular basis. Daniel advised us that his heart was leading him to be used on the sound equipment. In one of our meetings we pointed out that he would have to look at two things in order for God to allow this. First he would need to get married and secondly get baptized. Very quickly the Lord led him to do both.
The top photo is one of Daniel and Marta taking their vows before God. Daniel is now baptized and involved working with the sound equipment. It was an honor for Elizabeth and myself to officiate at this joining of two people under God. This makes it the 32nd couple we have had the honor of marrying all who had been living together with children. Praise God. May we see many more.
The second photo is of Daniel and his family with one more on the way. Please pray for health,spiritual guidance and provision.
Thank you

Stronger ties in Guatemala

A couple of weeks ago Elizabeth and myself were invited to a dinner meeting with the Alliance of Evangelicals of Guatemala. This organization is an alliance made up of many different Church organizations designed to help one another in whatever way they can. The alliance is strong in members and the leadership are all well known in Guatemala. OF course the main purpose is to give, spiritual,legal and fraternal covering to its members. At that dinner the members unanimously approved HFTCM as a new member. Not all proposed for membership are accepted. We are honored and privileged to be called to this alliance. This stronger tie to the evangelical movement in Guatemala will help us move forward in the future. WE continue to thank God for His love and promises.

A Temple for the Lord

God has done a great work on the new Church we are building in Guatemala. We are so honored and privileged to be part of this wonderful work. Elizabeth and myself never thought we would be called to construct such a Church. Five years in the making and for some reason God restarted the project and withing three months we are nearly ready to move in. Oh! no we are not finished yet, We are working on putting the electrics in this week, preparing for the windows and the tile for the floor. We thank all of the hearts that have contributed to this temple and ask that you all weigh in for the last mile. The windows are the largest of the remaining work as we have 12 very big ones. We have the quote for a total of $3,500.00. The ceramic tile will cost about$1000.00. That will complete the main temple top floor and allow us to hold services in your new Church. It will take some time to finish all of the offices and class rooms on the first floor however by faith again we believe God will provide. Please, help us to at least finish the praise and worship area, we know you have done much, however a little more is needed.
You can see in this photo what the inside of the Church looks like,with the platform built and a large area for the pulpit and the praise and worship teams. Our church community and the village are so excited. The birthday celebration for Glendy resulted in an overflow of people.
May you all 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
