Welcome Day

We were welcomed back with open arms to Emmanuel Church in Bella Vista. Pastor De la Rosa and his family were thrilled to see us again. We spent quality time together and prayed for each other.

Food Distribution

Compassion is important to have as a believer. Today, we were able to bless some families in need. It touched our hearts to see that they are satisfied with the little they have. Today taught us that no matter what you go through in life, don't lose hope.

Preparing Blessing Bags

by Melissa Castillo | June 4, 2024 11:18 PM

It was so amazing today because we had the opportunity to purchase some groceries to bless families in the community of Bella Vista. We packed the bags and prayed over them for God to multiply and continue blessings these families.

 Philippians 4 19

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."

Start of Church Project

by Diana Lozano | June 4, 2024 11:22 PM

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5) A few of the team started the frame for the new church door. They can testify they leaned not on their own understanding and allowed God to make it happen. To God be the glory. We are excited to see the completion of this project that is coming together.

First Day of VBS

by Melissa Castillo | June 4, 2024 11:40 PM

 Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

It was so wonderful seeing the happy faces of the children when we were singing, dancing and doing crafts. Can't wait for what God has prepared for us tomorrow. 

Keep us in your prayers.

Project Continues

God is looking for our availability for Him to use us. We give Him thanks we were able to continue working on the framework for the door. It will help to contain the air conditioning inside the church. We also were able to go out and deliver grocery bags and prayed with families.

Prayer Night Service

by Melissa Castillo | June 5, 2024 11:23 PM

Today we were able to be part of the prayer service at Emmanuel River of Life. God moved in many ways and talked to us to fill our vessel with His anointed oil. Also one of our sisters, Mariah had the privilege to worship God with a dance. It was so powerful for our lives. 

Continue keeping us in your prayers. Blessings

Day 2 VBS

High School Visit

by Diana Lozano | June 5, 2024 11:55 PM

We had the opportunity to visit Bella Vista Government Secondary School. We were reminded that God used David from a young age and He can use any young person who makes themselves available. It was also a heart warming experience to see the group bless a few students in need with scholarships, which reminded us that God provides for all our needs. We are grateful for the sponsors and pray God continued blessing on them.

Construction Work

by Diana Lozano | June 6, 2024 10:45 PM

God bless all those who assisted in the completion of the door with hard working hands. They all had hands and hearts on this project. Through the hot and humid weather they remained committed to complete this project.  We give God thanks for the end result.  Now the church will remain cool faster and longer. To God be the glory.
