Before coming to Catacamas, one of our biggest prayers was finding a church because we've learned how important that is to settling down into a new place. The second week we were here we went to Iglesia Cristiana Reformada, La Mora (one of two CRC churches in Catacamas), and they instantly put us to work. We took that as a welcome sign, and have dug our heels in there ever since. Hardly a day goes by when we're not there for one reason or another. Our car has become the church bus and the side lot has become where I store my bike most days.
We eat Sunday dinner with this family every week. The rest of the small congregation has been very welcoming and supportive as well.
Row 1: Pastor Isidro, his wife Delia, Angela, Katie, Brian, "Abuelo" (Grandpa) Roberto
Row 2: Elias, Raúl, Angel
Matt, Pastor Isidro, Oscar Jr. and Oscar Sr. are also deep into a project growing peppers and tomatoes at the school to sell.
We're incredibly thankful for these people. There's no doubt that being far from home would be much more difficult without them. We praise God for them and continue to pray for the increasing vitality this small church is experiencing.
