Today (Monday) was a very productive day for your team. Everyone was seated and waiting for Don's devotion at 6:30AM. Amen ! Don spoke from Genesis and reminded all of us that God's purpose for creation was to cause us to take His image to all the world. Just like here in Baja and in Sendai.
The team was anxious to get "hammering" away, but the Lord knew better. The saws and tools from Heart Ministries did not arrive at the site until after 10:00AM resulting in a very late start. During the wait, we relaxed and played dodge ball with the kids. Great fun for some of us! But as soon as the equipment arrived, we were off. By the end of the day, the 4 walls of the house were UP, and the 4 sections of the roof were done and will also be up first thing in the morning. It is still difficult for us to believe how much we were able to complete in 3/4ths of a day. And at the same time, we wonder why we're filled with such amazement since with God, nothing is impossible. Thank you, Lord.
When we returned after 5:00PM, the team was ready for one thing - a good shower, and the hot water lasted. Praise the Lord ! We broke bread together with chicken enchilatas and ended the evening with a devotional to close the day. Most of the team is sitting around in the brightly lighted dining room right now talking, and Diane's team is preparing for Vacation Bible School with the neighborhood children beginning Wednesday. Please pray for a bountiful turnout.
So the day is coming to an end and your team will rest well tonight. Their dreams will be heavenly and sprinkled with loving thoughts of the day and how the Lord led the way.
We received the following scripture from Diana Kim as a reminder of why we're here. It's from Hebrews 3:4 - "For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God". Yes, we are building a house and we are blessed with the task and working together to complete it. But we are reminded that God has orchestrated all of this. He is in control and provides everything.
Thank you for your prayers and for your love of the people of Vincente Guererro.
And we will praise Him,
Your Baja Team
