Brothers, Friends, Supporters and Brave Warriors...

....We keep moving forward. May the peace of Christ be with you.

The 10th of May, we started the week filled with expectations of what God was going to do and what we would achieve.

We have a lot of work ahead of us, for example: to have everything ready for laying the cement for the second floor and to have the finances for all the expenses we have.

Everything is a challenge and our biggest weapon is prayer. We took the challenge of pray three times a week (monday, wednesday and friday), and we do this in the lot where The House of the Nations is being built, and each week God brings us new challenges.

....But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. (Psalms 1:2)

The 15th of May, was the big day!!!!!! THE SECOND FLOOR WAS LAID, HALLELUJAH!!! God is faithful, God is fair, God is magnificent and the best, He is everything.

The process to lay the cement for the second floor was very exhausting, There was no lack of work, there was enough for everyone. Every time that someone arrived it encouraged us to keep going. everybody had there hands in the concrete and the shovels were being worked overtime. The day ended but the work continued until 9 o'clock at night, and Thanks be to God because we saw His faithfulness in every step.

The floor is laid! Now we just have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for the concrete to dry. Every day we have to get concrete wet so it wont crack, seems contradictory but God has His processes.

Supporter- Gods is the one who supports us. The cement floor is being supported by a lot of iron rods, iron beams, and boards. Now, what do you we have to do? After a lot of work comes the time to renew our strength, to rest, and to just be still.

Cease striving and know that I am God. (psalms 46:10) - Time to be still, to wait and to listen to God for what comes next, physically and spiritually.

During the time of stillness don't permit stagnation- We haven't done any construction for the last two weeks, only keeping the floor clean and getting it wet so it doesn't crack.

We were taking out the iron and taking off the wooden boards that were supporting the concrete. We were moving again. Not an easy task to do, takes a lot of energy, plus we have to take out the things that are holding on to our heart.... Watch over your heart with diligence, for from it flow the springs of life (Proverbs 4:23) God speaks to us in every process just as much in physical construction ( House of the Nations) as in spiritual ( Us as missionaries). We are growing!!!

Finally, the construction of the second floor continues. Now comes another phase, we are trusting that God will surprise us.

And now, Lord, for what do i wait? My hope is in You. (Psalms 39:7)

We can't say thank you enough.

Thank you for your support and faithfulness
