Kevin's New Home

 

Before unloading the truck and getting our first home started which is for Kevin, we gathered around the foundation where Mike introduced the team to Kevin and Greysi, his two year old.  Praise God Izela, Kevin's wife and Greysi's mother is working in Choluteca and could not be there.  But the praise is here there is an income coming in for the family.  Something here these beautiful people do not take for granted.  We gathered around the foundation while Brian led us in prayer translated by our Meida.

What a challenge it was to unload the Kia on this project.  They had to go under a barb wire fence and once under the fence they were passed materials from someone on the Kia side of the fence.  Off they went carrying everything they need to build a home, right down to the tool box.  

 

I could not help but think of this team's leader, Rodd, when I saw this handsome turkey and there was about three more just like him running around.  The team went straight to work helping Pastor Carlos set the cornerstones for Kevin's home.  Some even helped O'nil mix the first batch of mescal for the first block.  There is so much work that goes into laying the first block and especially for this project the location was a huge challenge which not one time did one person ever complain.  They saw the task and got it done.  They were almost ready for the praying over the first block.

The first night of devotional on Monday was led by Brian and what he said is exactly what this team did throughout the whole week especially their first day.  This first day was quiet the challenge but they came equipped by For Him by their faith in Jesus Christ.  The scripture below says so much about this week.  Because these gentlemen by trade all but two or three are in the construction business.  But this is a different way to do construction so not only did this team come down to build a home they came down and had to switch gears to do it the way the Hondurans do it.  But it is all about their faith and righteousness in Christ our Lord which saw them through.  It is not by their works so they can boast but by their love for Jesus Christ which led them all to the end of the week.
