...share your food with the hungry and provide the poor wanderer with shelter--when you see the naked clothe him... Isaiah 58:7
PROVERBS 28 VERSE 27
HE THAT GIVES TO THE POOR, SHALL NOT LACK ANY GOOD THING. When people come here to reach out to the poor, build houses, give out gifts, food, clothes, blankets or anything else God puts into their hands, I think they all understand that they lack nothing! We are given our very life to be given away to others and for the last week, we have seen dozens of people doing just that by coming and doing, but also the multitudes of people it takes to support the ones who come. Those that for whatever reason, either couldn't or wouldn't actually come to Mexico, but gave of their resources so that others could, is just as important as going. Last Thursday, Don and Seth dedicated the two houses the Carpenters Crew built and as we rejoiced, we were also brought to tears because of Gods wonderful grace.Both houses were so beautiful and the families faces are priceless when they open the door. The " Crew" blessed many people this past week including Paula and Me. They left behind generous gifts for the men from the colonia that helped us build and also a generous gift to purchase many used bicycles and tires and tubes for those bikes needing a tune up. Dave and Loni Sertola are here and they brought Gary and Jeryl from the upper section of Michigan. We finished the house today and tomorrow we will dedicate it. we have built four houses this month, and the trailer load of food in one of the photos, is headed for Neuvo Laredo Mx. These Pastors take the food into Mexico and other Pastors drive from southern Mexico to come and get food, so we are blessing people hundreds of miles away as well. Dave and Joyce White came last week and brought 4000 lbs of corn and while they were here, one of their contacts brought us 20 skids of salvaged food. THE WAREHOUSE IS FULL ALREADY!
