Mexico City team purchases facility

Steve and Kay Carpenter (Mexico City) recently shared the welcome news that the CMF Mexico team’s offer to purchase the Eagles school facility in Mexico City has been accepted. “We have prayed together for some time regarding this opportunity and now the Lord has shown us His favor,” wrote Steve.

The school building, built in the 1990′s and located in the same neighborhood where the team is planting a church, is owned by Medical Teams International and is currently also the site of the Mexico City Christian Academy. The CMF team has been renting the school for meetings of the Eagles Christian Church and other special activities, and made an offer to purchase it in November.

The building will continue to serve the Academy, but it will now also be the home of ALAS, a Mexican non-profit foundation formed as an outreach arm of the Eagles Christian Church. It will also serve as a community center, as a site for adult education classes, children’s programs, and many other activities. The spacious facility has 10 classrooms, a cafeteria, library, shop, office complex, and an apartment for the maintenance/security man and his family.

“We want to express our thankfulness to everyone who made a commitment pray for us and this opportunity and to everyone who made a financial commitment,” said Steve. “Our faithfulness has been rewarded.”

Contributions are still being requested to complete the purchase of this valuable ministry tool. For more information please visit the Carpenter’s website at www.sknbc.com, or email StevePalich@cmfi.org.
