Meeting Families

 Today, we met the families that we will be building for. It always amazes me the faith, courage, and sacrifice it takes for the families to prepare for their new house.  

They have to clear their land, which quite often means taking down their current dwelling. But then where do they stay?  How do they protect themselves when their house is gone? What do they do when the rain comes, as it did tonight? 

God always provides for them. Some stay with family others under a tarp. Some construct a temporary shelter out of discarded materials. No matter what, it takes courage to make preparations. 

Thanks to everyone at home who contributed towards the houses we will be building with the families. Tomorrow, the work begins!

Ready for Year 15!

 All our travels went smooth today, for the 9 of us from Sarnia, for which we are thankful! We are also thankful that the one of us (Deb) coming from Alberta made it on time, despite having her early morning flight get cancelled.  

Every team is a unique and God always has unique things in store for each team.  What will he do with a team in which everyone is over 50 ?!  Hopefully He does it gently!

We'll get some rest, then we'll be meeting families on Sunday and participating in a local church service. 

Thanks for following along, and keeping our team, these families and this community in your conversations with Jesus.  We also give thanks to the many people who have contributed along the way, through financial gifts, encouragement and prayer. 

We're ready for the mission :)
