News and Updates from EFM Missionaries
November 14-18 marked the special occasion of our Guatemalan brethren moving into a new place of worship. They are renting from a congregation that has purchased a large building that was once a Jewish synagogue and school. The stained glass windows in the sanctuary have symbols of the Jewish faith crafted into them: The stone tablets of the law, an altar with a burning sacrifice, and the burning bush of Moses, among others.
Rudy Solís, superintendent of our national church in Guatemala, was present to provide both singing and preaching in the evening services. Here he is (left), along with one of the men from the congregation.
Our people will have access to both the main sanctuary and a large auditorium in the basement of the school annex. We held service in both places, and God blessed with an attendance that reached as high as 143. There were several who bowed at the altar for prayer. Also during these days we were able to make contact with some people who expressed interest in continuing to attend services with our brethren. Pray that many of them will draw near to the Lord and become part of the congregation!
