In the midst of economic and social challenges, the Lincoln Hispanic Church gathered for a special celebration, marking the final payment of its church mortgage. This achievement is a powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness and the perseverance of His people.
The highlight of the day was the symbolic burning of the mortgage, representing freedom from debt and the opportunity to look toward new horizons. Pastor Alejandro Dovald reminded the congregation that this project was more than the construction of a building. It is a place where people have found community and belonging. Conference president Ron Carlson shared a message from the story of Jesus’ first miracle, calling all to “do everything He asks of you,” a reminder to remain faithful to God’s mission.
With gratitude, I thank God and every member who contributed through prayer, service and sacrifice to make this day possible. What once was a dream has become a living testimony of God’s provision.
Though challenges remain, our future is secure in Him. The same God who led us through this project will continue to guide us forward. May this church remain a place of worship, service and hope for generations to come.
