Was there ever a time when the very air in Granada crackled with anticipation? A time when whispered prayers mingled with the scent of freshly baked bread? In April 2005, in the heart of the San Juan del Sur neighborhood, just a block west of the local bakery, the Iglesia Bautista Fundamental Palabra Viva opened its doors. This vibrant church, a beacon of the Fundamental Independiente Baptist group, quickly became a cornerstone of the community. The church isn’t just a building, it’s a living testament to the faith of its members, the “hermanos,” as they call each other. Their dedication is palpable in the numerous services they hold throughout the week. On Sundays, the day begins with Sunday School at 9:00 am, followed by an uplifting preaching service at 4:00 pm. The rhythm of faith continues throughout the week: prayer and Bible study on Tuesdays at 6:00 pm, Bible study on Thursdays at 6:00 pm, and children’s Bible club on Fridays and Saturdays at 4:30 pm. The first Saturday of each month is dedicated to the women’s fellowship, while the last Saturday brings together the men. The energy within the Iglesia Bautista Fundamental Palabra Viva is infectious. From evangelization and discipleship to missions and their online radio program, the church’s ministries extend far beyond its walls. If you happen to be in Granada, you can find them on Calle San Juan del Sur. You can reach them by phone at (505) 2552-7524 (for the temple) or (505) 8879-2460 (Pastor Zavala’s cell and WhatsApp). Or you could simply follow the sound of heartfelt prayers and joyful hymns to find yourself at the doorstep of the Iglesia Bautista Fundamental Palabra Viva, a place where faith comes alive.
