The first year we came, we struggled to build 4 houses. This morning we finished the last of 26 houses!
26 families will be living in safe, secure and dry homes this Christmas. For most it will be the first time they have ever experienced these qualities that most of us take for granted.
As our diverse yet united team shared tonight, we have so much to be thankful for. We have been humbled by the dignity, contentment and faith of the families with whom we have served. We have been blessed. We are blessed.
Their lives have changed and so have ours.
25 people from Ontario: 1 from Mississauga, 3 from the Ottawa area, 4 from Sarnia and 17 from Plattsville - together with Shelter staff, WGM staff and an incredible number of community members along with 26 families some way, some how the Lord united us all, providing for all our needs and infusing our lives with Hope
Thanks for sharing along the way. Praising God for his work through all of you this week, and celebrating with these families!
ReplyDeleteGod has surely blessed this team and all the families. Also, he has blessed those of us that get to see and read these stories in our own walk in faith . In my prayers, I pray to visit in Nov 2026 to meet Salvadoran families and be part of the team who also has the privilege to help build family homes and be touch by the grace of the people. .
