The children now have 2 classrooms to meet in. Before, all of the children were crowded into a hallway.

The inauguration event was held in December 2010 with area congregations attending to help celebrate.

Here is the facility layout: 4 rooms on the right, restrooms to the rear, commons area in the middle, and auditorium with baptistry on the left.

The front of the new facility after completion: classrooms on the right, auditorium on the left, sliding door in the middle to a commons area.

The auditorium was mostly completed and the first meeting held in the new building in October 2010.

In September 2010 a team from Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Missouri installed wiring in the auditorium, painted the classroom interior walls, and began preparing to pour the auditorium floor.

The auditorium roof was installed in August of 2010.

The front wall of the auditorium was completed by June 2010.

The rear wall of the auditorium was completed to close in the construction area.

The restrooms at the rear were completed and the walls to the auditorium were begun.

Column footings were set by the members themselves as time permitted.

These four rooms were completed by September 2009, and a team from Missouri installed the wiring.

All members of the congregation worked as they had time to do so.

Members continued construction for several months--without machines, it was all done by hand!

This group from Missouri and Arkansas worked for a week clearing the lot and starting to dig footings for the new building.

Tim Bassing from Black Oak, Arkansas preached a series of lessons to the congregation in June 2009 to spur growth. At the same time, a team from Mt. Vernon, MO and Cave Springs, Arkansas started clearing the land owned by the church in preparation for a new building. Tim is shown preaching with Freddy Paraza translating.

The Ocotepeque congregation met in this garage for about 10 years. They could not grow because they did not have space to grow into.
