...share your food with the hungry and provide the poor wanderer with shelter--when you see the naked clothe him... Isaiah 58:7
RGBI VOLUNTEERS BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING
While the team of volunteers from the Rio Grande Bible Institute work every day at the Bible College, they found time in their hearts and their time to build a home for a very needy single Mom. A great time was had by all as they prayed over the family and the house. It really is what it is all about as Norma and her two oldest daughters prayed to accept Christ as their Savior. Her two oldest sons Jose and Richardo had prayed with us the week before and now the whole family is part of Gods Everlasting Kingdom. Not that the numbers mean anything, but 9 people have gotten saved in the last few weeks as a result of building these simple houses. Tuesday we went to Progresso, MX with the remaining Carpenters Crew along with Joe, Tom, and Betty who are staying at our house with their R.V.'s. They are with World Mission Builders and are in the process of building chapels in every prison in Oklahoma. The next project needs about three hundred thousand dollars to build a chapel in a women's prison. We built a small house for Guierllmo who is 88 years young and blind. He was living in a small shed at the back of lot owned by Paula who takes care of him. The 12 foot by nine foot room is just enough for him to live out whatever days God has for Him. We gotter done in one day, as everyone worked together to assemble the tiny house. Yesterday Carmelo and Eliazar finished the next foundation for next weeks house to be built by Joe and Barb Warner who are driving down from South Dakota. They grow the beans for the ministry and wanted to come and build a house with their son Lane, who will fly over from AZ. That will be 6 houses since Christmas. The wood got delivered yesterday, and Maria and her grandchildren will start painting today. It's almost been a little crazy latley building so many houses in such a short time, but that's Gods explosive favor and goodness being poored out on the poor and needy. We have had several ministries come for beans and rice and this week alone, we have given out over a thousand pounds of beans and rice.
