He also said that women, men, children and young people all worked in the reconstruction, including some neighbors. &#8220;The surprising thing is that in just one month they gathered everything, even more than they needed to rebuild, managing to reconstruct the worship center in just 32 days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On February 2, the congregation gathered, marched together to the property and entered the new worship center singing praises to God.<\/p>\n<p>Before dedicating the worship center, Pastor Rodrigo said: &#8220;God spoke to us; he actually spoke to us through the storm and we understood that we should work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The church received ten new members in full communion on the same day and fourteen people were baptized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is amazing how the pastor and the church did not see the storm as a time to be afraid, but as a time of victory. God spoke and they rebuilt the worship center in 32 days! &#8221; Cho said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Francisco Cho Si, Superintendent of the Northern District of Guatemala.<\/p>\n<div id=\"69db3fae6f3a1\"
