Update October 2008
Greetings from Mike Black Ministries Guatemala
It’s always a pleasure to say hello, bless you and share a brief update of what’s happening with us and the ministry in Guatemala.
Our church, the “Revival Center” in Guatemala City has been our central focus of concern for the last several months due to a problem with city zoning. These ordinances did not exist 8 years ago when we took the building. To make a long story short, the owner of the building asked us to leave the facilities, giving us about 10 days to get out withoud anywhere to go.
We had a moving truck show up on the day that we were moving out, and as I said, without any place to go, store our belongings or put our office. Well, God came through the same day with some temporary breakthroughs. We were able to meet 3 Sundays in a school auditorium which ended this last Sunday and we were once again with no place to go.
Now, Guatemala City is very crowded and has a severe shortage of available places to rent, including warehouses for the use of a church. Well, God prevailed once again in spite of our concerns.
This past weekend we found a building which is better than I ever thought we’d have. To say the least, I know that this building is God’s choice.
Here is something to pray about and one question that needs a response from your heart >
Financially, the cost of rent has doubled in the last 8 years and the income of our church has not increased. The average tithe that we receive from our members is about $20 per month. The high end of the average income of our members runs about $250 per month. Most people make about $1.20 per hour.
Here is what we need:
1. For no more than a year, we would be very relieved if our income for our church could be supplemented with 8 people or churches donating $100 extra per month to help us out.
I know that in our new location, our church will grow, so we will not need the financial supplement for our church forever.
Would you please pray about that?
Please write us with your favorable response as soon as possible to: mbmguate@intelnet.net.gt.
Thank you so much.
Pastor - Missionary Mike Black.
