The opening and dedication of the newly rebuilt DE Church. God was indeed present and joining in the celebration of the new church. A church that joined hearts and hands of its members with mission work teams from the Western North Carolina Conference. Beaming from a restored century old mahogany pulpit, Sanchez looked out over the crowded sanctuary. Sanchez went on to greet and recognize representatives from the national DEC office and members and friends of connected churches.
Thunder is typically a prelude to rain.
The DE Church of San Pedro was swept off its foundation. Piles of debris remained but somehow the church doors managed to stay attached to their hinges and opened. Immediately after Georges' destruction, the women of the church gathered every Friday evening for fasting and prayer. They thanked God for their blessings and ask God to provide what they needed to rebuild their church. They had faith that God would hear their prayers and provide.
