Salamanca Update

So to catch everyone up on the latest in Salamanca (my neighborhood)...... We are in the process of starting a church plant here. Since Mark Berry (my team leader) will only be able to serve the church plant as a part time pastor, we're still very much so in the developmental stages, and don't actually have a church formed yet. What we do have so far is a Sunday school for kids in the neighborhood (most of which come from a poorer part of the neighborhood) on Sunday afternoons. Currently we do not have a set location for the Sunday School, so we are using a public park until we have somewhere to go. It seems to be working out well for right now. We also have a Thursday night discipleship group that meets at Kike and Martha's place. We are within a few weeks of ending one of the studies, but it has been encouraging to see the group grow, especially with new believers. There is a "cell group" that is meeting on Saturday evenings too, it used to be like a little worship service, but it is being changed to a bible study. The hope is to start the church and Sunday worship service in June. Until then, there is a group of people meeting together weekly to plan and develop for the Salamanca church plant.

Any prayers are welcome for all of these areas!
