Welcome To The Construction of The New Sanctuary


Hello.

This is the official weblog for the construction of the New Sanctuary for the Second Methodist Church of Iquique.

"And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment."

1 Chronicles 28:20-21 has been a critical promise for our church. From the moment God put in our hearts the mission and desire to build a new temple, we held His word tightly and we see His hand in every step we take.

We have already had two volunteer groups this year that have come and helped us build part of our dream. We continue praying so God sends more teams here.
Thanks to Sue Ann Lewis, and Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church for their valuable cooperation. Their group came from Richmond, Virginia and they were working at the site for a week.

We would also like to thank Paul Sackett and the volunteer group that came from Louisville, Texas and the First United Methodist Church of Louisville. Your work has encouraged us to persevere and continue working.

Finally, the Second Methodist Church of Iquique wants to thank God, for his love, power, works, grace and peace.
May the Blessings of the Almighty be with you, always.

"And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God." Zechariah 6:15
