Project Sparks Church Growth

When LATCOM representatives arrived for a church service in the village of Coloradillo, they were amazed. Church members were crammed into the tiny adobe chapel, built 25 years earlier by missionary Mel Ferguson. In 2008, the congregation was almost dead. Four years later, the chapel couldn't hold everyone. How did this amazing transformation occur?

A foundation was begun for the Coloradillo church. The 

current chapel is seen in the background.

Extreme Makeover: Monte Blanco Edition

An update from Ceci Ramsey at Monte Blanco:

Busy... busy... busy…  That's the best way to describe to last two weeks… and rewarding--fun--awesome--a blessing. Some of the women worked hard to spackle, clean graffiti and paint the boys' dorm, which has 16 bedrooms, plus a living room, a long hallway and a bathroom. Each of the bedrooms had cream-colored walls, white ceiling, and one colored wall (blue, green, eggplant, orange, etc.). We made curtains to match the colored walls. The long hallway has a dark taupe bottom, a 2-3 inch deep red horizontal stripe, and the cream top with white ceilings.  The living room which you can see coming down the hallway has the same deep red for a wall around the fireplace. It looks lovely... if I do say so myself!
