Upgrading and Improving our Spanish Speaking Worship!
Did you know that over 30% of the homes within a three mile radius of the church speak Spanish in their homes? In our attempt to reach our community, we want to do a better job of reaching spanish speakers with the gospel and making them feel welcome at ABC!
Last year, we remodeled main Worship Center. We are now in the process of upgrading our Spanish Worship Center At our next business meeting (on Wednesday night, April 29, at 6:30 pm), we will vote to purchase chairs like those in the English Worship Center. (See the picture from their pulpit. They are currently using old Sunday School chairs.)
We wil purchase 100 chairs at a cost of $13,876 from our existing building fund. 72 will be assigned to the Spanish Congregation, and the other 28 will add to our English Worship Center. At the business meeting, we will also give a financial update and more information on a new church start.
Does Our Homeless Ministry Change Lives?
In the first two months since we reopened IHELP (Interfaith Homeless Emergency Program) the ministry has experienced great success–and some challenges. As of March 31, 18 different individuals were housed. 6 of them have been able to secure permanent housing, and 2 more were able to re-unite with family.
Of those 18, four have some form of mental illness, four have physical disabilities, 2 are survivors of domestic violence, and one is a veteran. 7 of them have some earned income, 2 get Social Security benefits, and 9 had no employment at the time they entered the program–several of those are now working!
If you’re into statistics, that’s a 44% success rate in getting people off of the streets in less than 60 days!
We currently house on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights, and we have 12 individuals (our limit) in the program. To the members of ABC, your willingness to participate in this ministry is definitely helping people in the name of Jesus. To those servants who work in the ministry, THANKS! You are making a real difference!
Our VBS theme is "Illumination Station" and it's scheduled for June 7-11!
