We know the house we've built is pretty humble. Only two windows. Two rooms. A door. Still, there's something incredible about handing over the keys to a new house to a very deserving family. But it pales in comparison to the feeling we will know on that day the Lord opens the doors to our heavenly home. For now, we can see a small precursor to that joy in the faces of the famiy we've served.
It's appropriate that a service project like touring the house and touring the teen girl's renovated kitchen caps the end of our week. Making a place for people in this world is important. Important in the next world, too.
Our entire team signed a Bible and it was presented to the family receiving the house. Carol Lowe, as is her tradition provided a flower box for the front window. We gathered around the house and the family to pray for their health and well-being and Christ's presence in their lives and home. We hope you'll join in our prayer. Especially pray for Senor Marcareo. He's the gentlemen in the wheelchair. He lost his legs to diabetes and now he's having trouble with his hands. He asked us to pray for his hands. So let's continue to do that, that God would should his presence in a very powerful way.
[By the way -- Our dear brother Conrad Little made a very special appearance on this trip...see below for an explanation.]

| When he heard the story of how Senor Marcareo lost his legs to diabetes, Chamberlin Little came to him and told the story of his father Conrad. Carrington joined him. It was a powerful moment and a connection that goes beyond country and culture. Thank you Chamberlin and Carrington for your heart, your boldness and for sharing the story of your father. Actually in that one story...you were telling the story of your two heavenly fathers. |
