Highlights from report from "Roca Firme" El Milagro

(Translated and edited by Felipe Martinez)

["Roca Firme" mission at El Milagro is partnered with WVP's Northern Group, composed of Hartford City, FW Trinity, Bluffton, and Ossian]

Activities in the months of May and June 2006

Visitation: In these months several members and I visited the homes of some people, sharing the gospel and at the same time we came to realize there is a need in that area about which all the neighbors agree (most of the neighbors are women). There is a need for a daycare center since the women have to go to work and they do not have a place nearby where they may take their children for daycare.

We were able to make contact with two people, with whom we shared the first part of our evangelism program.

Construction: In these months we have completed the second room of four we have in mind to finish this year. After a group of brothers and sisters came from Emanuel to lay down block, members of the mission were in charge of putting on a roof. We [will also] have the help of the group who comes every year to do Vacation Bible School.

Membership: At the end of these months, our rolls show: 11 members in full communion, 6 new members to be baptized in November, 5 attendees [simpatizantes], 8 children between 2 and 9 years old.
