The Preachers, The Building They Worship In, and Their Work
Jesus Hernandez is one of the preachers we support there. He is 34 years old, single, the son of an Elder. Jesus is a graduate of the Miramonte School of Preaching in San Salvador. He is committed to the spreading of the gospel of Jesus Christ and works very hard at it
Jose Castillo is 33 years old and is a dedicated minister of the gospel. He is finishing his schooling at the Miramonte School of Preaching, and is learning English as fast as he can. He is an excellent organizer and teacher and preacher. His father is dead but his mother is a faithful Christian and is very supportive of Jose and the work he is doing.
Above is a picture of the rented church building in La Palma. It has potential seating for about 65-70. There is also a classroom where the children are taught. The building is located on the main highway that goes through La Palma, only a few blocks from the downtown area. The $175 per month that we pay for the building includes utilities.
Why We Do It!
Above is a picture showing why we are supporting the preaching of the gospel in La Palma. This is Jose baptizing Milagro, a truly gracious lady and a servant. She crochets for a living, and is very good at it. Her daughter and family are very close to becoming Christians also. We plan to make some improvements to Milagro’s house during our trip, including pouring a concrete floor in her living room and kitchen.
