We've been very blessed to have such an amazing building, especially for a church that is only 6 months old! Apart from the size of our building, we have other blessings that have really helped us and we wanted to share those with you. First, we have two large water tanks and a massive water pump that feeds water through the whole building. This is really important because the city only turns water on for 6-8 hours a day...so when the city water is turned on our water tanks fill up so that we are always prepared for service. Imagine not having water or bathrooms for 300+ kids during a service...that would not be good. The second blessing we've seen is that our power (lights, as it is called in Nicaragua) has not gone out that often, like it does in other parts of the country. Well, it is because we are close to a hospital. We do not have a generator yet, but we also haven't needed one because our power has not gone out. The switch you see is in the picture allows a generator to be turned on (it was used by the previous church). Here are the pictures:
