In the fall of 2009, I had the priviledge of pitching a to a group from South Tulsa Baptist Church. They are very intentional to be building churches. I proposed that they should consider helping build a small church in Santa Maria de Jesus SMdJ, not by necessarily using brick and morter as much as empowering the young pastor serving in the church with a scholarship for seminary training and then as he grows more, the church will grow more, and the need to supliment the building will be proven or not. Here is the progress to date. In addition to making a 3 year scholarship happen for astor Gabriel seen on the left in this photo, the building has gone from this...
to this...
then to this...
and then to this...
And now the church members have stepped up to build the walls to accomodate the needed space for the over 100 children and youth that are now actively a part of this church 's weekly activities.
Momentum, movement... passing it forward. Yea God!
