Above are some of the many tasks at hand during this five day project. These North Americans worked in the hot sun in the morning and in the rain in the afternoon. God used them all in so many different ways this week. I stood back one day and observed some many jobs taking place on this piece of property. Juan, the older gentleman, is the generous donor of this land to start the church. About a year ago Mike and I were out there to assess for a home when we say a foundation with grass growing inside of it. We inquired what was going there. The people of the community shared we are trying to save our money to build us a church. Mike and I are so impressed with our friends and their willingness to sacrifice their own funds which probably would and could be used to feed their families and put it towards a foundation for a community church. So with much thought and prayer we ask God to lead us in the direction He would have us to go. After not listening to God and deciding not to build them a church and then to have God's quiet gentle voice tell us both on the same day you will build these people a church we decided it is definitely God's will for this to happen. His still and quiet voice led us to this time and place on this week. Team two is working hard to complete the task God has planned for the completion of this church.
After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
