Everything is shaping up for an outstanding mission. Here we are - just a little over a month away from our departure. We will be a little over 60 strong and our plans will include working with children's homes in several areas. We will be working on the completion of a playground at the Jimmy Hughes home, painting at the new Casa de Esperanza home, and having a pizza party at another home. We'll be working with the new church in Santa Ana - where we will also build some houses. There will be a couple of days of dental clinics and daily teams at Hospital Esquala. There are plans to build at least 15 houses and more if we can. There will be great periods of devotion, and smiles & tears of joy. You will meet some of the best people that you can imagine and it is likely that your heart will be broken by what you see and from thinking about the conditions of the people that you are going to serve.
Get your stuff together and start stashing away a few goods that will be well used by the families that we will be working with. Go to the dollar store and buy aspirin, generic tylenol, and generic advil. We need children's chewable vitamins, antibiotic cream, anti-itch cream. You can get all of this at dollar tree and the people on the mountain will really appreciate it.
Pray every day for our mission and ask your friends and family to do that too.
Remember to ask God to bless us with the resources that we'll need to serve the people that have incredible needs. A house will cost $1,000 to build, we can box up food for 100 families for the same $1,000, we can buy a truck load of food for a children's home for about the same $1,000. You will be amazed at how people will welcome the opportunity to help others - all you gotta do is ask.
As always, please feel free to call or email any questions.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you.
