I NEVER CEASE TO BE AMAZED

As we drove by this abandoned store in the colonia that was built a few years ago, I asked God to show us if it for sale. We are currently praying about building a trade school and teaching facility for many different skills and Roy Busby has two lots to build it on. This store is built out of block and concrete, with secured windows, doors and wired for electric, a perfect building indeed. Well yesterday, the owners sought us out to ask if we might be interested in buying it for our ever growing ministry needs. HELLO! He started out at 20 thousand dollars and Roy had him agree to taking 14 thousand. Mikee Smit from IIT in Chicago has his school involved in planning and designing a curriculum and has raised 3 thousand dollars already. Even though it is already built, the roof is a perfect place to build the class rooms needed. We are looking for people willing to invest in the lives of these young adults to give them a trade and a skill to improve their chances of finding work, so any donations marked SCHOOL, will go to this vision/reality. Today we built an outhouse for Thomas and Blanca, even though it was drizzling most of the day and 30 degrees cooler than yesterday. Dave, Loni and Michelle are still here from the U>P> of Michigan while Gary and Jeryl spent the last 30 hours in Chicago awaiting a flight to Michigan after spending two weeks here. Pray for Garys health and business. Thank you so much for all of the heart felt prayers and cards for Paula following the loss of her Mom. We still haven't really had any time to grieve and reflect since we have had teams here since the last week in Jan. It really is Gods way of holding us in His righteous right hand.
