- Our “Dinner and a Movie” night was a great success! We had 28 in attendance on Friday evening, February 17. The film “Courageous” was shown in Spanish. Several of the men were in tears by the end of the movie. After the film, one individual commented: “We put too much emphasis on our jobs and the economy. What really matters is our family, our children.”
- Casa de Dios has been able to start in-home Bible studies throughout the county. Most of these have been led by the lay-people of our church. The Lord has graciously been opening up the homes of lost families. As the Word of God is taught, the Gospel is shared.
- The State Convention offered a Sunday School Training Event for Hispanic churches on Saturday February 25. Five adults from Casa de Dios attended this special meeting. Eight adults from El Centro de Señor (Cullowhee) were also in attendance. This seminar was held at Agua Viva (Living Water) Baptist Church in Hendersonville. Training was offered for teachers of adults, youth, children and preschoolers. We have prayed for the Lord to raise up workers for the harvest. He is answering our prayers!
