A Foundation of Faith: Building a New Church in Murcia

SALVACION, MURCIA, NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, PHILIPPINES

Right in the heart of Salvacion, Murcia, a new church is being built. It's an answered prayer that will bring hope and faith to the community.

Led by the faithful hands and hearts of Pastor Liberato Palomar together with his wife, Pastora Lilibeth Palomar, graduates of the School of Yada (Batch 3), this church is more than just a physical structure. It's not just about constructing a building, it's about laying the spiritual foundation for generations to come.

The simplicity of the materials, bamboo and wood, reminds us of how the early churches were built: with hands willing to serve and hearts full of faith, trusting in God to guide the way. The structure also symbolizes the beginning of a new spiritual home for many. In every piece of bamboo laid and every beam constructed, the church is a testament to God's provision.

For many in Murcia, having a dedicated place of worship is important. It's not only about attending church services but also having a place where the community can gather for worship, fellowship, and outreach programs. This church is seen as a safe place where people can connect, grow spiritually, and experience a strong connection with God. It's a place where God's presence is strong, and His teachings are shared.

As construction continues, there's an anticipation that grows with every new wood and support added to the structure. It's a reminder that faith itself is built one step at time, patiently and persistently, with God's help and provision.

Pastor Libe and Pastora Lilibeth encourage all to continue praying for the victorious completion of this ministry, knowing that it will be a place where lives are transformed and faith deepened. They are confident that God will provide, and that this church will become a beacon of light and love for many.

As this church rises, so too do the hopes and dreams of those building it. For now, prayers are needed. Prayers for strength, perseverance, and unity as this sacred space comes into existence. As the bamboo structure transforms into a sanctuary, it will stand as a testament to God's faithfulness. Let us remember that, as Paul said in 1st Corinthians 3:9, "For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building." With each step forward, we build not just a church but a place where God's spirit will dwell for generations to come.
