DEDICATION DAY ALREADY???

Today we dedicated Filiberto and Carmen's house to the Lord. It's important to dedicate it to the Lord, otherwise, we can get judgemental about what happens if they move and sell it. It's thier house to do as they wish. We give it in the name of Jesus. I guess I say that because sometimes after we build a house the people use the only asset they own to get ahead in life and sometimes sell it.
The Carpenters Crew did a great job of building the house the last few days. We could have dedicated it yesterday, but we also had a medical outreach as well going on. 58 patients were seen, health kits given out and 20 professions of faith in Christ were voiced. A great day indeed followed by a fish fry back at New Life.
We lost a few workers yesterday, as they headed back to Iowa to attend the funeral of Charles Kramer who passed away on Tuesday. Charles and his wife Marge have been coming to build a house in Mexico every year for the last few years. He lost the battle to cancer but won the good fight of faith. Charles was here a few weeks ago to build another house and was feeling that he needed to go back to Iowa because his time on this side of heaven was short and didn't want to burden the family in case he passed away while in Texas. We will miss him, and his last legacy will be continuing to fund our work in Mexico even after his passing. Thank you Charles and Marge for making the world a better place.
