June 2025 Update
We started the month of June by gathering as a group to sing, pray, read Scripture, and hear God’s Word preached, a rhythm we’ll continue twice a month through August as we prepare for our public launch. Each of these gatherings is part of our current teaching series titled: Who We Are and Where We’re Going A journey through the values that define Fuente de Esperanza. Already, God has used the first two gatherings to lay a strong foundation for FDE. We began by anchoring our hearts in God’s Word, which is our ultimate authority, the source of life, truth, and lasting transformation. From there, we were reminded that Jesus is not an addition to our lives but the center of everything: creation, redemption, and our mission. These truths aren’t just theological convictions; they shape the very DNA of Fuente de Esperanza.
Exciting News! God Has Opened a Door!
We are thrilled to share that we have found a place to worship! After months of prayer, searching, and trusting the Lord’s timing, He has opened a door and we’re now in the final stages of confirming the details. This will be the space where our core team will gather, where new people will hear the gospel, and where Fuente de Esperanza will begin to take visible root in the heart of Clermont and Groveland. As we move closer to our official launch on September 21, we are filled with gratitude for the momentum God is building and the deep hunger for truth we’re seeing in our community. Lives are being touched. The gospel is going forth. And none of this would be possible without your faithful prayers, generosity, and partnership. Here’s where we urgently need your help!
We’re in need of some key items to prepare the space and welcome our
community well:
8 flags (welcome, kids, parking, etc.) = $200 each
5 A-frame boards (for signage and direction) = $260 each
2 stand-alone signs (retractable with church info) = $190 each
3 six-foot folding tables = $60 each
3 pub-style fold-up tables (for welcome/connection) = $90 each
2 communion kits = $200 each
5 Pipes and Drapes = $200 each.
1 enclosed trailer (to store and transport our gear) = $4,000
A.V. Equipment (Basic Needs) = $4,000
This is an urgent and practical way you can help us get ready for launch. Whether you’re able to give toward one item or help fund several, your support makes a real difference as we continue planting a gospel-centered, bilingual church that exalts Christ and reaches people with hope.
Let’s keep moving forward together because where God opens a door, we walk through it in faith.
