It was a joy for EDM to be a part of the dedication service for the new church in San Raphael this past Saturday, June 27th.  Pastor Marianna invited us to share in song, as well as lead the congregation in the prayer of dedication.  The church was packed with over 100 people, and many pastors from the surrounding area came to join in the celebration.  On behalf of the community Pastora Marianna presented EDM with a certificate thanking us for all the help and support in bringing the building to completetion.  And on behalf of Pastor Marianna, EDM would like to thank the churches, teams, and individuals who funded the project, worked on the project, and prayed for the project.  God bless you. 

This past weekend we held a pastoral seminar in the city of Pimentel in one of the local churches.  Pastors and leaders came from five neighbouring communities for the 12 hour seminar held Friday night and all day Saturday.  Over 130 pre-registered for the event, and more showed up at the door.  It was a joy to be able to invest in the lives of so many, and to pray over them.  We are looking forward to seeing the impact this training has on the local churches as well as the communities they minister to.
