After a brutal day riding to Orange Walk in the sun, we headed 8 miles northwest along another road to the town of San Estevan. We went up to see the church that ROW and New Life Ministries have partnered to build in that village. The San Estevan church is one of three churches ROW and New Life Ministries have planted in villages around Orange Walk. The churches in San Roman and Guinnea Grass are complete and growing congregations in those communities, while San Estevan still a ways from being complete.

Over the past few years several ROW teams have traveled to San Estevan to help build this church. In fact, I was part of a group from Hampden-Sydney College that helped to pour the foundation, so it was a special sight to see the church with walls and a roof. There is still a need for teams to come down to help finish the church, so get a group together and let ROW help you all come be part of this work. We need teams to help with construction, but we also need teams to host revivals and Vacation Bible School.

It has been inspiring to see ROW’s work prospering in Orange Walk and San Estevan, and to see the people and communites that benefit from the work on a daily basis.
If you want to come see it for your self, then let me know and we can get you down here! If you have already been, tell us what you did.

In Courageous Faith,

Nick
