April 2025 Update
God continues to be faithful, opening doors and creating opportunities for us to share our faith right here in our own community. As part of building a gospel-centered culture, the men of FDE have been intentional about gathering together, recently meeting at a local vendor in our downtown area. These gatherings have given us the space to engage in topical Bible discussions while out in the community — creating a welcoming environment where faith and everyday life intersect naturally. In the same spirit, the women of FDE have also been gathering — sharing meals in one another’s homes, encouraging one another through discussions centered on God’s Word, and walking together through the ups and downs of life. They have been inviting friends to join them, opening
doors to share the gospel, build meaningful relationships, and grow together in Christ. We are also coming together monthly as a community group — sharing a meal, hearing and praying through God's Word, and lifting our voices in songs of worship to our Lord and King. This is the culture we are seeking to cultivate at Fuente de Esperanza — a church family where we come alongside one another, pray for one another, engage deeply in Scripture, seek the truth of God's Word, and learn to apply it to our daily lives. We believe real growth doesn't just happen within the walls of a building, but wherever God's people gather in His name, living out His truth together — in homes, in the community, and in everyday life.
Progress, Prayer, and Partnership
We continue to see God's faithfulness as we move toward the launch of Fuente de Esperanza this fall. Over the past few months, we have seen gospel conversations flourish, community groups grow in relationships, and
new connections form — all signs of how the Lord is moving in our city.
But we are also entering a critical stretch.
We are still actively searching for a Sunday gathering location. Please pray that God would provide the right space — a place that is accessible, welcoming, and rooted in the heart of our community. While we’ve had some promising conversations, we trust the Lord to open the right door at the right time. We have reached 29% of our $68,000 goal toward launching Fuente de Esperanza. Every contribution brings us closer to planting a church that will reach and disciple bilingual families with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Would you prayerfully consider becoming a monthly financial partner? Or inviting someone you know who has a heart for church planting to join us in this mission?
We also invite you to continue praying with us:
• For the right location to gather weekly for worship
• For continued financial provision and new gospel partners
• For wisdom and strength as we disciple and train our core team
• For open doors and open hearts in our city
We believe God is building something beautiful through Fuente de
Esperanza — not just for today, but for generations to come.
Thank you for your continued prayers, encouragement, and generosity.
