December 13 - Where Worship Meets the City

The GOES Church in Montevideo stands as a beacon of faith and service. Thanks to a portion of the 13th Sabbath Offering, it’s transforming lives for eternity through worship and outreach.

In the heart of Montevideo, Uruguay,

the GOES Seventh-day Adventist Church

stands as a vibrant center of worship
and community outreach.

But this building is more
than bricks and mortar--

it's a testimony to the power
of mission giving.

Reaching a city like Montevideo
comes with unique challenges.

Like many major cities around the world,

it's a place where people
are often busy, skeptical,

and disconnected from spiritual life.

Traditional methods
of evangelism can be difficult,

and building trust
takes time and dedication.

That's why centers of influence,
like the GOES Church,

are so important.

Thanks to a portion
of a 13th Sabbath Offering,

this building was purchased, renovated,

and transformed into a welcoming space

where the church can meet people
where they are.

Today, GOES Church serves
not only as a house of worship on Sabbaths

but also as a hub for health workshops,
clothing donations, family programs,

and spiritual support throughout the week.

It's a place where compassion opens hearts
and service opens doors.

Because of your generosity,

the gospel is reaching people
in Montevideo

in practical, life-changing ways.

It's a place where trust is built,
lives are touched,

and Jesus is made known.

When you give
to the 13th Sabbath Offering,

you're doing more
than supporting a project,

you're helping transform lives
for eternity.

Your gift helps plant churches,
launch ministries,

and bring hope to cities
where it's needed most.

Thank you for giving, praying,
and being part of this mission.
