A few months ago, we donated over $8000 to the India Gospel League to build a church, or Life Center, in India.  Well…here is a letter from Dr. David Rice, Executive Director of the India Gospel League, North America, as well as some pictures of that church!!!  You will not believe it!!!

Mark,

I am back in the US after a month long trip in India.  It was a most fruitful and productive time.  I continue to be amazed at how the Lord is at work in such mighty ways.

I have attached a few pictures from the FOSA Life Center dedication.  When we dedicated it the building was about 90% complete.  There was some finish work and final coat painting to be done on the inside, and paint and some touch up masonry work for the outside.  The church was meeting in a very small building, which they had outgrown.  They had very little land, so the FOSA gift extended the ground floor, and added a second floor. The church members did much of the labor, along with some skilled labor hence the gift from FOSA went a long way.  This is one of the largest life centers I have ever seen.

SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE MISSION PROJECT

We are very excited about the opportunity to be a part of an effort to establish a church in San Miguel de Allende.  Great things are happening down there and we are so fortunate that David and Ruth Tamez have presented this opportunity for FOSA to get involved.

San Miguel de Allende is the seat of the municipality of Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico, a historic town founded in 1542 that has become an attractive tourist destination for wealthy Mexico City residents and has a large American and Canadian expatriate community comprised primarily of retirees.  Currently, there are 80,000 residents within the urban area of San Miguel, 60,000 residents within the 540 surrounding villages that are a part of San Miguel and 11,000-12,000 foreign residents at any one time. Of these foreign residents, 70% are from the United States, 20% are from Canada, and the remaining 10% are from 31 other countries.  One of the goals of this project is to start a new church to reach the English speaking population that lives there and minister to those who visit during the tourist season. 

FOSA HARVEST CENTER

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY COLLECTION REACHES GOAL!

On behalf of the Missions Committee, thank all of you who bought the squares in our "Square Foot Challenge" for Habitat for Humanity.  We reached out goal and I wanted to that you!  You are an awesome congregation and I am so glad to be a small part of FOSA.  In the next few weeks we will contact those who signed up to work April 25.  This is a picture from the "meet and greet" with the homeowners at the Habitat office two weeks ago. The young lady in the center is Amanda Castillea, the future homeowner whose home we will be building. She is holding her five-month-old son, Aaden.  Her three-year-old daughter, Makayla, is in front of her. Joining Mark and Suzie Snider and me in the picture is Mark Ingram from Temple Beth-El.

Thank you again...Clayton Cochran
