A WASHINGTON TEAMS GIFT OF A HOUSE

Imagine looking at the concrete floor where one day you'll be able to put your bed surrounded by four walls and a roof that doesn't leak. Amelia and Trinidad were bursting with joy when we showed up last week to start building thier answer to prayer. We had been gone for over three weeks, so the foundation had been sitting there empty on thier lot for over a month.We opened the day with prayer and before long one wall was up, then the second, as the painting team tried to stay ahead of the carpentry crew. The sky grew dark and it poured for about an hour. We took refuge under the International Bridge and ate lunch while it rained. We managed to get one more wall up in between rain delays and called it day and churned our way thru the now muddy road toward home. The second day took us to the point of only needing the roof metal and windows to finish. We decided to finish and decorate, and dedicate the house on the third day because Trinidad would not be there the next day. While the team finished the house, Pastor Victor grilled up chicken, sausage, jalepenos and onions on our grill. We had our fill of good food and gathered around the house. As Victor prayed for the family, Joy filled the hearts of the family and the tears of that joy overflowed to many of us as we handed them the keys and they entered thier new home. Thanks to a great team for changing the life of a family for time and eternity.
