In late 2008 and now in 2009, our evangelism work is shifting somewhat to the Cusubamba community, just below Linaje Escogido church due to a radical shift in circumstances. First, the only church that was there has folded up and no longer exists. There was also one bible study by another group, but it too has gone by the wayside. We held two days of open-air outreach in November, along with a VBS day, and there was much interest on the part of the community. It is an open, fertile area ready for a powerful work. Secondly, the roads up to Linaje Escogido church and beyond into the other areas of work are torn up due to a sewer line project. Many times we cannot pass, even in a four wheel drive vehicle, especially in this rainy season, until the work in completed some time in late Spring. Pray for us; especially for the national missionaries, as we work in this area.
UPDATE: We have opened up two works in this community. "La Rosalia", which is shown below in the "Winter '08 -'09" photos below, and now, "San Vicente", a large neighborhood about 1/2 mile up the highway. Both areas have a kids' bible study, youth bible study, and an adult bible study going, as well as evangelism.
