NELSON’S NOTES
by Nelson Galarraga
We are so thankful for the Central Church for making it possible for us to buy Biblical books (commentaries, dictionaries, and many more) in Spanish for our Bible students.
Every Sunday night, a group of men and women are being equipped to become better leaders. Again we are using Larry White’s courses for those who are new in the faith, and other members are studying advance courses from Nations University (University Without Walls). It is our vision to make disciples and send them to all nations as Christ commanded.
We continue to impact our community with so many outreach ministries, so please keep us in your prayers.
