On Wednesday night, March 12, the cell group that meets in the Santa Ursula Coapa barrio celebrated God’s gift of multiplication. The Santa Ursula group had been planning to multiply for several months and through God’s grace it finally became a clear reality. The group had recently grown to over 20 regular participants. In order to restore intimacy and reach out to new people, the group decided that it would be best to become two groups.

The evening was filled with singing and prayers of thanksgiving. We made a list of things God has done among us on a white-board. Each of the group members lifted up specific things that they were thankful for in our group. After finalizing the plans for the two new groups, we ate a final celebration meal together (tostadas, tortas, arroz con leche and cake).

The Santa Ursula Coapa barrio will be the site of Tierra Firme’s next church plant, most likely this summer 2008. Please be praying for these two new cell groups and the plans to plant a new church in this area.
