SIGNED CONTRACT: We have been working for months to prepare a conceptual design for our future church building. Over the last four months, our church building committee has been vetting construction companies. But we weren’t able to sign a contract without an accurate land title. We purchased the land in August 2020 and received a title in January 2021. But it had an error on it which excluded 1/3 of the land we had purchased. We finally received the corrected land title in March 2022, and in April, we signed a contract with a company for both the design and construction of the future home of Faith Baptist Church! Praise the Lord! We look forward to seeing God provide as we move forward in this project.

STRENGTHENED CHURCH: Passion Week is always a highlight at Faith Baptist Church. Palm Sunday is typically our biggest attendance of the year. This year God blessed us with 95 people in our main service and Children’s Church, including a young man Dan had the privilege of leading to the Lord just a few days prior! Two young ladies also followed the Lord in Believer’s Baptism. Later that week was our annual Good Friday Fellowship at a nearby hotel. There we remembered what our Lord’s death and resurrection completed for us, and we also enjoyed food and fellowship. On Easter Sunday, we had one longer combined service, and we were encouraged to have 85 attend that service.

SUMMER CHANGES: In May, our ministry partners, the Applegate Family, will take their oldest daughter back to the USA for college, and they will be on furlough until Spring 2023. We will miss their cooperation, encouragement, and presence in the ministry here while they are gone. However, we look forward to the development of our church family as others take on some of the Applegates’ ministry responsibilities. Please pray for wisdom as we continue to mentor and disciple church leaders.  

PRAISE THE LORD FOR

• Leading us to the right company to design and construct our new church building.
• Those being saved, baptized, discipled, and mentored through Faith Baptist Church.

PLEASE PRAY FOR
