St. John United Methodist Church was here this week doing construction and children's ministry. They were scheduled to do construction three days in Hato del Yaque but had to adjust their schedule a little bit and ended up working on one of our missionaries' new house being built. They did a couple months worth of work in just one day. It was amazing!
The work continues out at the church in Hato del Yaque. It has been such an incredible blessing to see the rapid progress the last couple months. There is tile on the floors and in the bathrooms, the entire outside of the building is almost painted and almost all the concrete work is done. It's so crazy. It is looking like a real church/feeding center. Plus the dorms are coming to completion as well. There are ceiling fans and running water as well as bunk beds going up. So fun!
The team also did work in Santa Lucia (La Mosca), Hoyo de Bartola (the Hole) and Los Perez. The kids were so excited to see them and to do some fun crafts and sing songs.
This group is especially fun because the parents of Will Partin (one of our staffers) were on this trip, as well as Will's sister, Lucy. It is so great to see family as it helps with missing your own family members by kind of living vicariously through others!!! This team is special too because they are really coming behind one of our National workers, Bienvo. They built a relationship with Bienvo on their trip last year and have really cultivated it again. Will, Audrey and several team members will be presenting information about Bienvo and the work he does here, to their church in Kentucky. Be praying that hearts will be opened and support starts flowing!
They had a wonderful trip and are an incredibly flexible group. Enjoy the show!
