First Baptist Raleigh Returns

The team arrived on a Thursday as our first team of the year.  They were told their travel time to El Quiquistal Agua Caliente Linaca would be one hour and a half.  They came with open hearts and minds to what God had called them to do, build Gorge, his lovely wife, Nery and their son Jose, age 10 a home.  This family was renting in Choluteca an apartment which had them away from their family.  Mike and Ginger met Gorge two years ago at a police check point.  He was questioning what we were doing and where we were going.  He asked who we worked for and what was the nature of our ministry.  Mike explained to Gorge we work for North Carolina Baptist Men building homes, churches, Sunday School classrooms, dental and medical clinic but all teams were evangelism teams.  So one time we came through Gorge's police check point he asked could we build him a home.  Mike shared there were many others ahead of him.  Please pray with us and one day we will build you a home. 

One day we were coming through and we said can you take us to where you want to build your home.  So off we go and we traveled through some beautiful mountains on treacherous  rocky roads.  When we finally arrived what a beautiful sight.  Gorge's property was nestled in a cove waiting for us to build a home.  We told Gorge he would get a home in 2017.  But he had to get his foundation completed before we would commit.  He said he would do just that.

So as the team arrived up in El Quiquistal Agua Caliente Linaca they found their long ride turned out to be a little piece of heaven.  They introduced themselves and a local pastor open the week up in prayer.  Gorge was not able to be there until Day Four of the construction but he made sure there was plenty of family there to help get his home built.

Thank you First Baptist Church Raleigh for being the willing servants to make Gorge, Nery and Jose's prayers become a reality.

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God.

Hebrew 3:1-4
