Villa Progresso

Our team had the honor of spending a day at Iglesia Bautista Central's sister church in Villa Progresso.  We spent the morning doing Vacation Bible School for the children of the village and later in the day we shared in a worship service with one another... the music was loud, the kids and adults were filled with joy, Shelly gave her testimony and Matthew preached.  It was an amazing day of sharing the gospel with God's precious children.

Later in the day we returned to Villa Progresso and walked throughout the neighborhood inviting families to an evening worship service.  Shelly shared her testimony of when she came to Christ and Matthew preached a sermon on the story of Jonah.
