THANKS FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP IN
BUILDING GOD'S KINGDOM IN EL SALVADOR

We are amazed at the way that you are taking care of us by ministering to us and helping us. All of this is a confirmation of the work the Lord has called us to do. On behalf of our congregation in Ojos de Agua, we want to say THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your donations for purchasing the property and helping us get started with the construction. May the Lord bless each one of your lives abundantly. "How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!"- Psalm 133:1 We may not be living together physically but how beautiful it is to work in unity for one purpose, expanding His kingdom.

With love in Christ,
Camilo and Cindy Blanco

Chairman, Fred Speckman
