Give believers a place to worship together Jesus said, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20).

As believers, we’re commanded to meet together regularly and to encourage one another (Hebrews 10:24–25), since we are better together than we are alone (Romans 12:4–5).

Yet, right now, all around the world, there are some brothers and sisters in Christ who cannot gather together for worship…

“Greetings, friends of QHM,” writes Pastor Perez.

(He’s serving in a closed country we can’t mention by name.)

CHAPELS bring inspiration to the isolated

“So far this year, six new churches have been organized, and we are currently organizing four more!”

At Quiet Hour Ministries, we recognize the significance of addressing spiritual needs alongside material ones. After all, that’s what Jesus did!

But a growing church is just one aspect of Paster Perez’s ministry.

Through your generous support, Pastor Perez (pictured in photo below, on right) recently purchased a house, which will soon be converted into a chapel.

Building chapels in remote communities is a transformative endeavor that goes way beyond construction.

“With the donations [QHM donors] gave us, we bought and distributed food to families in the surrounding communities,” he said. “All the families are very grateful for the timely help they received.”

The chapels you make possible not only serve as places of worship, but they also become hubs for education, empowerment and hope.

“In addition, 243 souls were recently baptized as a result of evangelistic campaigns,” he said.

Yes, chapels provide a physical space for people to learn about Jesus, fostering spiritual growth and moral guidance.

But they also promote social connection and unity, contributing to the holistic well-being of communities around the world.

The foundations of faith you make possible Yet perhaps most exciting, your generous support also enabled Pastor Perez and his team to purchase a house, which will soon be converted into a chapel to provide an official place of worship. “God has blessed us abundantly,” said Pastor Perez.

Thank you for your faithfulness and generosity— and for allowing God to work through you to transform communities like Pastor Perez’s.

When completed, Pastor Perez’s chapel will be more than a meeting place for worship. It will also serve as a launch pad for evangelistic efforts, providing a foundation for long-term ministry impact.

Thank you for your faithful partnership!

Blessings,
