Building Relationships and dedication of Home

Through out the week there was other things going on as the walls were going up. Praise the Lord for Joey who was tall enough to help when the job got taller and tougher. Joey was a big man with a quiet and gentle spirit. He also took the time to teach some of our new friends, Kristen, Donna and Samantha how to lay the blocks. This team was blessed with a cozy area with shade to go and take their breaks each day. During these days of building relationships there was a hair salon set up where Katrina and Samantha both got their hair cut. While hair was being cut there was fun time with the children of the family with bubbles and key chains being made. Everyone was wanting to make key chains, children and adults alike. Someone made a keychain to go with the new key to the home, Honudran colors, blue and white, of course. After lunch one day Jose G one of the volunteers from the local church brought out a guitar and he and Nora sang Christian hymns of praise to the Lord. What a beautiful way to spend a lunch break and an afternoon, Praising the Lord. Finally the day come when the home was completed. We decided to have the dedication outside the house and lock the front door and present Ms. Edelma the key to her home so she could be the first one to open the door. Thank you Orfilio for that suggestion. It was a beautiful gesture to add to the dedication. Ray did an awesome job sharing thoughts from his heart and reading from God's word. As the dedication came to a close everyone placed their hands on the wall of the house and a prayer was prayed over the home and the family. It is such an amazing witness for Christ when you have outsiders standing watching from the road and surrounding homes while the dedication is taking place. Hopefully others heard the word of God who may not have every heard it. Pray someone found Jesus that day during the dedication of Ms. Edelma's home.
