“寶華中心”
張牧師，2010-9-13
從去年八月起至今，在教會新堂開始大樓建築施工與裝修的過程中，經常跟一些好奇的過路人有類似以下的對話：
“請問，這裡將是做什麼用途的？是蓋辦公樓嗎？還是。。。？”
“嗯，不是的，這裡是我們教會在興蓋新的教會中心呢。。。我們是華人基督教，是宣道會。。。”
座落在San Borja區Aviación大道第26街上的一棟新建築物見證了神的信實。從五年前開始找地、到購地、到今天呈現在眾人眼前的中心大樓，確實讓大家經歷到神信實的帶領和供應。願榮耀歸給我們的主！
2005年底，神將一個意念放在我們心中，僑居秘魯的同胞們在生活中有那麼多的需要，我們應該去服事他們，幫助他們解決生活上的實際問題，全面關心其全人─身、心、靈的需要。基於此異象，深深感到必須擁有一個屬於自己的地方才能夠更有效地服事社區裡的人，所以開始尋找一個合適的地方。
神的帶領多麼奇妙！看了無數地方，沒有一處是建堂委員們一致同心認可的。直到2007年七月，當時我跟師母正在美國述職，神讓建堂委員們遇上一個在人看來絕不可能的機會: 產業未插出售的牌子，東主是銀行；內部主管們要賣不賣尚未定奪，又讓知情的房產經紀人與我們的委員弟兄巧遇。既然有買主找上門來談價錢，價錢既談攏了就賣吧。這實在是神的作為！
下一步就是我們有沒有信心了。買地，拆舊屋，蓋新樓所需龐大的資金哪裡來啊？後來一步一步的經歷到，只要是出於神，再大的事，神自己總會負責。果然神感動了多少海內外的基督信徒和教會在此事上同心奉獻，使我們見證了神的信實！讓教會信徒的信心也因此長進了不少。哈利路亞！
在此不得不提的是: 神差派了一位愛主又負責的秘魯基督徒建築師來為教會中心作建築設計，申請執照，並在整個施工時期負責監督。我們為他感謝主！
而且，中心大樓的建築承包公司老闆也是主內的弟兄。他是本地秘魯宣道會一位熱心的會友，也是華裔。從去年八月起，拆完舊屋後又蓋新樓，至今年四月分第一期工程完工，基督徒的建築師和承包商均本著服事主的精神、為主的名興建中心大樓，是為了榮耀神、為了能將福音更有效地與本地的同胞們分享。
這一切都不是出於偶然，是神的恩手在引領著一切。十月24日（星期天早上9:00）我們將在新堂中慶祝教會成立七週年堂慶。今後願神興起教會的肢體們，透過“寶華中心”將祝福帶給更多的人，更多的家庭！

Good morning how are you?
My name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Peru? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Peru in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
