The building has begun!

The building on Leo and Michelle's house has begun!  We have raised almost $3,000 thanks to so many generous supporters who desire to invest in this family!  Thank you so much!!!  It has been such a blessing to see other members of the community coming to help build the home for their neighbor!  In addition, Leo and Michelle want to come to church this weekend and have asked Daniel to do a dedication for their new baby!  We are so blessed by this and are excited as to what the Lord is going to continue to do as we help to meet the physical needs of this family.  At times, to reach a family spiritually you have to meet their physical needs first by serving and loving them with the love of Christ.  We are praying fervently for this family.  Please pray along with us!  Here are a few pictures of the first few days of work.

Patio where house will be built.  The guys have taken the little roof off of the patio at this point.

Here is the patio location for the home, cleared and ready to go.

Daniel's childhood friend, Tim, who came down to serve with him for a few days--he's got SKILLS in building homes!

Putting in footers and first layer of foundational block


Jose, local in the community, serving with the guys.  He has been a great help!

Laying block to "fill in" a needed wall where a wooden gate used to be...
