Home dedication for Rosalba and family

 
Pastor Randy along with translator Meida led a beautiful dedication service.  The dedication came from Deuteronomy 6:4-9.  After the dedication we placed our hands on the house as Pastor G prayed over the finished home.  Pastor Randy presented her with the key to her home as she and the boys entered their home with tears of joy.  Inside the  home the team continued the dedication by sharing a bible with each young man who helped work on the home.  Christian, another young man Nathanial reached out to received his bible and immediately started reading it.  Interesting point here is Christian is not a Christian.  He is a devout Catholic. Please pray as Nathanial by giving him this bible will plant the seed and one day it will produce the fruit of eternal life.  Each team member gave one of the men or boys a bible and Franklin stood next to his mother with tears running down his cheeks.  Rosalba shared the day of the dedication Franklin was telling everyone he saw about his new home.  He was so proud to call these 800 blocks his home.  God is good all the time.  All the time God is good.
 
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.  These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.  Impress them on your children.  Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates."

"But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."
Joshua 24:15
