"AN ANGEL TROUBLED THE WATERS"

"There is in Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda. John 5:2

Years ago we named our church in Nuevo Progreso Bethesda which means pool of healing, place of mercy and kindness. The Bible says that at a certain season an angel troubled the waters of the pool and people were healed.
One project we worked on before leaving Mexico this season was a baptismal pool inside the church auditorium. We felt an urgency to complete the project so people newly saved can be baptized in water.
Bethesda now seems an appropriate and prophetic name for the work in Nuevo Progreso since we continue to receive reports that people are being healed. The baptismal pool at the church will be one of the few such facilities in the area. Is there an angel troubling the waters at the church in Nuevo Progreso?



This is a picture of the baptismal pool at one point during construction.  It will be finished before the rest of the building is completed so new believers can be baptized.
