Pray for the Comedor

I would like to ask you all to be praying for the Comedor - this is the place I go every Saturday morning where children from poor families can come for a meal (this is offered every day except Sunday) and a Bible lesson. They have beeen meeting in the community center, but I guess the association now wants to start charging for its use. This is definitely a strain for Cecila (the woman in charge) because she is already paying to provide most of the food, with small donation coming from other people. This is also frustrating because since the Comedor uses the community center, groups have come and improved the building (had it not been for the Comedor, there would not be a bathroom, 2 extra rooms and new paint on the walls). Yet, even with this, the association wants to charge Cecila for the use of the community center. They are looking into purchasing some property where they can build their own building, but that will take time and money.

So please be praying that:
* we will still be able to use the community center free of charge
* money will still come in to purchase food to feed the children
* land will be available to purchase and that the funds will come in

Thank you!!
